Multi Monitor

[Guest]

I have a system with 4 monitors (2 dual graphic cards)
Win XP identify the monitors from 1 to 4.
What I need is to change that identification:
The primary monitor connected to the first graphic card identify as 1
The monitors connected to the second graphic card identify as 2 and 3.

Any help ???

Your computer is not recognizing your monitors and then numbering them 1
through 4 it is recognizing your video card ports and numbering them 1
through 4. An easy fix would be to leave 1 hooked up to ur primary card take
3 from ur secondary card and hook it to 2 on ur primary card and move 4 to
the three position and then plug 2 from the primary into 4 on the secondary.

Graphical explanation:

Your current setup
[ 1 ] [ 2 ] Primary card
[ 3 ] [ 4 ] Secondary card

Revised setup
[ 1 ] [ 3 ] Primary Card
[ 4 ] [ 2 ] Secondary Card

Good Luck,

Thanks fot your answer, but I thnik I can not apply.
I'll try to explain in more detail my actual configuration:
- Principal monitor connected to the first card (at 1024 x 768) identified
as 3
- Monitors (at 2560 x 2048) connected to the second card, identified as 2
and 4.

What I need is to identify the principal monitor as 1, and the monitors
connected to the second card as 2 and 3.

If I understand correctly, you have 4 monitors, and you need to change
the ID of these monitors in the computer (maybe becuase you want #1 on
the end, or in the middle)...

The best way I can think of (becuase I don't have that setup - neither
does Bill Gates btw) is to rearange the wires from the monitors to the
graphics cards.

Good luck.

Ok so it is probably set up so the primary adapters on the cards are 1 and 2
and the secondary adapters are 3 and 4. So you need to take your monitor on
card one and switch to the other port on the same card. Then switch the
number 4 monitor from the second card to the port that you just switched from
on card one.

Graphical

Computer numbering:
[ 1 ] [ 3 ] Primary Card

[ 2 ] [ 4 ] Secondary card

Your current config:
[ ] [ A ] Primary Card

[ B ] [ C ] Secondary Card

The Fixed config:
[ A ] [ C ] Primary Card

[ B ] [ ] Secondary Card

A = 1 (Primary monitor)
B = 2 (2nd Monitor)
C = 3 (3rd Monitor)

Good Luck,
