| | Problem with extended desktop to multiple monitors when screen saver comes on I have a Vista Ultimate laptop connected to two monitors. I can extend my desktop to the second monitor just fine. But when I come back from a meeting, and my screen saver has been on, my desktop is no longer extended. Both monitors show the display for monitor 1. The setting is still correct under Display settings and I can fix the issue by changing Monitor 2 to be the main monitor and then switching it back to Monitor 1 being the main monitor. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a known fix? |

Is there a known fix? I have noticed that I have do swap the monitors over depending on what OS installation I am using. It seems to happen randomly, and has really annoyed me. I use desktop monitors, with UltraMon, which allows you to turn off the secondary monitor, or swap them around very quickly. www.ultramon.com ss. |

| | Re: Problem with extended desktop to multiple monitors when screen saver comes on It does seem to be working better after upgrading the drivers. Thanks for the idea.
