Display changes
Hi, my display sometimes changes from Monitor2 to Monitor1 where I lose all my desktop items. I have set Monitor2 as my default but it still reverts to Monitor1 sometimes. How can I prevent this from happening.

You'll have to provide a bit more info mate. Do you have a dual monitor setup? What graphics card are you using?
Try uninstalling the graphics card via Device Manager, then do a fresh install of the drivers after rebooting. Or alternatively just try uninstalling the Non-PnP monitor and see if it forces the one you have connected to the primary display.
What cable are using to connect from your GPU to your monitor?
Do you have an onboard graphics option you could try to rule out the GPU?
Hi Boozad,
It went wrong again today and the only option I could use was Safe Mode - so I uninstalled the display driver, then it wouldn't re-install it so I went to the NVDIA site, downloaded the "Check your system" from there and it downloaded a different driver, so I think that might solve the problem.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Glad you're getting somewhere mate, let us know how it turns out. Hopefully all's well from here on in.
