My primary monitor is showing as my secondary monitor in my ati and windows settings, and my secondary as primary, yes i know the box thing to click to make primary but i need the actually ATI i belive to realize that it is primary so i can select better resos on my games. (my primary monitor is labeld 2 and secondary 1 software wise)

1)Primary monitor set up, showing that it thinks its secondary

2)Secondary monitor that thinks its primary

3)All ati settings are going for secondary



I really think this is a ATI like problem, but not sure.

use ultra-mon a third party monitor management program you have a 30 day free trial or you can obtain it through torrents but of course that is illegal under copyright laws

ill look into this, last time i downloaded something illeagly i got 47 trojans from a overclocking program, luckly i was smart and got them out by hand picking every one of the **** things out. (online windows scanner actually did something the virus scanners could not = ) )

Have you tried switching the plugs the monitors are plugged into on the back of the video card? Typically the primary monitor is plugged into the left most adapter.

[teh_gr1m]

yup is, but ones dvi and others agp (or whateva) so if i were to switch id get worse quality on my main monitor and i dont belive my secondary supports dvi.

its VGA and it isn't worse quality in a noticeable way and your video card probably came with a vga dvi adapter
