Multi-monitor side bar issue.

Right now I am running a vista machine with 2 monitors one widescreen and my old one. I keep all my sidebar gadgets to the other monitor so I can monitor temps and system diagnostics. Today, my sidebar is on my main monitor and no mater what I do it won't go back to monitor-2, no mater what the setting is in the sidebar properties. What is going on here?

Open up your setting and check to make sure the other monitor is still registered in there. Have you recently added or changed anything?

Both monitors have always been in there. Here is the odd part, while I was loading up some old games, it seamed to fix itself. I guess when one of the games switched to the resolution to my old monitor it knocked everything back to the way it was.

Hmmm... Your pc seems to be an older model, so I dunno. Could be some weird error...
