Re: Multi-Monitor Questions

1. Doesn't happen on any of my 4 Vista (3 Ultimate, 1 Basic) machines. One is in a domain, the others are just in a workgroup.
2. Has only happened once when I upgraded video drivers. I blame ATI for that one and it only took a moment in Catalyst Control Center to fix by reversing the monitors.
3. I keep my desktop icons to a minimum and don't generally have any on the secondary screen so I can't comment on this.
4. I've never seen this on Vista or XP.

Vista crashes me and requires a reboot about 10% of what XP used to (and I
install/uninstall lots of stuff on it).

My major beef is after every "patch" the following happens EVERY time:

1. User Account Control gets re-enabled
2. All the icons from my right (secondary) monitor move to the left
(primary) monitor.
3. Related to 2 above if the right monitor icon getting moved AND it's in
the same place relatively to the top/left of an icon already on the left
monitor, then it seems to get placed at semi-random places.
4. ANY non-MS IE browser shortcut on my desktip gets DELETED.
