Vista - Dual Monitors don't keep settings after startup

I have connected an Eizo screen on the left hand side of my Dell laptop. When
I startup Windows Vista the Eizo screen is the primary one for like 1 second.
When the startup process is complete the screen of my laptop, somehow,
automatically becomes the primary one.

This is very annoying and means that every time I reboot my machine I need
to go into Display Settings and change the settings so that the Eizo is
considered the primary one.

So, I want Windows to remember this setting after re-boot. But it doesn't.
Any ideas how to change this?

I have tried to delete the Eizo screen in the Device manager and then
re-installing it. That didn't help.

could be a problem with the video card drivers, try getting the lastest ones from the manufacturer´s website.
post info about your computer

I have the same problem... Not that it helps you, but I look forward to
seeing what you find out. It's really a pain!
