Dual Monitor Settings

[Richard]

I have an XP Pro machine that is utilizing two monitors. One monitor, a 19",
is the primary and another one, a 17" is the secondary. Is there a way for
me to change the display settings on the 17" to make the icons, text, etc.
larger? When I go to change the display settings it only changes the
settings for the 19".

right click an "empty"(no icons) space in your screen, select
properties,
then the settings tab. you will see the 2 monitors, select the monitor
you want to work with and change the settings.

Click on the icon for the 17" monitor before changing the settings.
