Dual Display setup automatically change at reboot

Hi All,

I've setup my nvidia card Geforce Go 7600 on my acer notebook to display an
extended desktop on 2 screens.

Nothing special till now. I set my notebook screen as the main one, and it
works fine.

But everytime I reboot, the external screen always becomes the main
screen... and then the notebook display as the extension.

So everytime I boot, I go again within the nvidia tool to change the main
display.
I even tried with the "Display Settings" interface from Vista in case of any
conflict... but same thing. It looks like it does not remember the correct
main screen.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,

Jean-Frederic

Right click the Desktop and PERSONALIZE and then DISPLAY. Click the
IDENTIFY button to make sure 1 and 2 are in the physical place you want
them, if not drag one screen across the other. Should save and stick

Hi Frenchy,

Thanks for the reply.

I've done this (several times even).
The issue is that it does not seems to remember it at next boot.

Regards,
