    Multi-monitor setup

    Just a Q how are your monitors oriented? Side to side or Top on top, also within windows

    Orientation is key. Make sure you're in extended mode, not mirrored. If you have the two monitors running with the settings, you want the top line of both monitors to be lined up.

    They are side by side. I was messing with the orientation for the desktop and changed the smaller monitor to landscape flipped and applied. When I reverted, the screen centered itself and everything fell in to place. It was weird. However, it won't stay like that. I have to do that every time I fly. Think maybe it could be some kind of setup in my video card settings?

    That's odd that you are forced to apply the settings each time. It should be set like that from the time you change the settings. If you do have to revert each time, you could try adjusting the settings based on reversing the x and y settings for the second monitor. 2820x1680 being the overall settings, and adjust your extracted display settings from there.

    Ok, you just lost me. What exactly are you talking about and how would I reverse it?

    Well what I took from your post is that your settings are obscure unless you change it landscape, so what it sounds like is that whatever mode it would be prior to that would be an opposite number on the x and y of second monitor.

    So above would be the overall of the settings.

    But I don't keep the settings. I apply the new orientation, but revert back to the old setting and it's fixed. Kinda like it gave it a swift kick in the butt to do what it suppose to do. I can't explain it.
