How do I reverse the direction for 2 monitors
Hello,
I have two monitors - a left and a right. The right is the larger one and I use it as my primrary. It is hooked up DVI - the smaller is VGA. I like the way everything works but I have to move the mouse to the right to get to the screen on the left. Is there a way to make it so when I move the mouse to the left, it will go to my left screen (not my primary)? Thanks |

How do I reverse the direction for 2 monitors
Thanks - I tried to drag and nothing happened - I've certainly dragged and
dropped icons before but nothing seemed to happen. Any guesses? "vellu" wrote in message ... Assuming you are using WinXP it's simple. Go to display properties where you have the two screens marked one and two. Just grab the one marked two with your mouse and drag it to the other side of the screen marked one. The screens should now be reversed (default being 1 on the left and 2 on the right). Boe kirjoitti: Hello, I have two monitors - a left and a right.

Maybe I'm in the wrong section. If you have such a unit can you tell me
exactly where I go? I have the latest drivers installed. "Boe" wrote in message ...

Nvidia or ATI? first place to go is the desktop. Right click on the desk to get the RtClk menu, PropertiesSettings and see the gray box with 2 screens marked 1 and 2, with a listbox right below it titled Display:, and the three buttons below that Identify, Troubleshoot, Advanced. That gray box with the monitors is where you drag the one by the other. I'm using 2 x 7800GTX's in SLI, and dual Samsung 930B's in DualView. I used to have two different brands of monitors so wanted the same kind of arrangement you do. It's an old habit now and I'm accustomed to having it look this way and like it. McG. |

NVidia - 6800 I think but can't remember - it was that or 6600.
