Dual Monitors Problem Help Request
I have a VISTA laptop and I've attached an additional monitor to allow for more desktop space.
I've set them two monitors up with 1 as the laptop display and 2 as the adjacent flatscreen. The laptop screen is listed as the main screen, but the desktop icons move onto the adjacent monitor. If this extra monitors isn't on I don't have any of my desktop icons. ? What can I do to keep my desktop icons on the laptop and only put those windows on the flatscreen that I deem needed? I've check the drivers under device manager and all are upto date and working properly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do your icons move when you plug the monitor in? I have the same setup and my icons will move when my laptop screen is off (i.e. when I close my lid). But they move back as soon as I open my lid back up. Make sure you have a check mark next to "This is my main monitor" for your laptop screen under Display Settings. -- milnerw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ milnerw's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=818 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25855 |

Just use a right mouse click to drag and drop a copy of the desktops icons
you want from the primary display to the secondary display then you can always use either display. "George Trakker" wrote in message ...
