Dual monitor settings won't stay applied
I have a second monitor plugged in to my laptop. The first monitor on my laptop is 1366x768, and the second monitor plugged in by VGA is 1400x900. The setting I choose is "Show desktop only on 2". When I go to close the lid on my laptop, monitor 1 disappears from the available monitors, but reappears when I open it again. What happens, is that it reverts back to "Extend these displays" but I still want it to only "Show desktop only on 2" by default.
I just upgraded to Win7 from Vista, and I didn't have this issue in Vista. For some reason, my first monitor is reactivating itself and my display settings are changing without me doing anything to them. I have to go back every time to change it to show only on monitor 2.
Thanks for reading, hopefully there is a solution.
***EDIT***
I found a similar thread, similar issue, no solution.
Extended Desktop Keeps Reverting Back to Cloned Desktop
***EDIT2***
I did the same with another laptop on Windows 7 Home Premium, and got the same result. Its some sort of Windows 7 issue...is there a workaround?
