BONGO Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I have set up a second monitor to the left of my laptop in work. I run them together with my laptop screen as 1 and the monitor as 2, just to the left. Once set up everything is fine, but i cannot find how to save it all so that i can turn off the laptop, then restart it each day without having to set it all up again.I came in this morning and when i turned it on, the scren did come on, but where the second scren is on the left, the laptop thought it was default, on the right. Plus my centered desktop background was not centered, and all the icons were off to one side.The icon problem is actulaly more of an issue i think. I have to have 3 sections of icons, the normal group down the left, then the right corners i have groups that i need for certain jobs. They all just group together on the left when i turn off the computer. I have right clicked and 'locked' the icons but they still moved.What the hell do i do to make them stay were they are?!Bongy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONGO Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 It's some kind of intel[R] thingy lol.I've been into the options for the graphics card with the dual monitor options and there is nothing anywhere related to the isses i'm having. I've also found out the problem of my icons moving on restarts is unrelated to the dual monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
