dual monitors

[Guest]

I have had dual monitors set up successfully. This morning when I started
the computer the settings had been lost. I can't get them reset. I believe
the problem is that the machine is confused about which is the primary and
which is the secondary monitor. When I "identify" monitors, they both show
up as #1. When I try to extend the desktop to #2 and click "apply" the
"extend desktop" checkbox unchecks itself. The window below the 2-monitor
display shows that #1 is the external monitor and #2 is the laptop monitor.
Please help. this is driving me crazy because I've done it in the past but
never knew exactly what worked... it just worked after trying different
things.

thanks

You probably could uninstall one in device mgr,xp will reinstall it on
restart.
Also,try downloading exhibitor pro utility from windows media,its designed
specifically for 2 or more monitors running at the same time on xp....

Thanks Andrew. I couldn't find "exhibitor pro utility." And of course, the
dual monitor mode miriculously reappeared yesterday. This morning when I
logged in both displayed the same thing again so I restarted and it worked
that time. After my original post I dnldd the manufacturer's driver so maybe
that helped.
