| Dual Monitor Issue I am running dual monitors, and having a problem w/ the arrangment of the monitors. In Display Settings, I arrange Monitor 1 above Monitor 2. The settings take effect w/o any problems. However, if I lock the computer and then unlock it the settings go back to the default arrangements of the monitors being side-by-side. So is there a way to keep it from doing this or is there a way to change the default arrangement from side-by-side to top and bottom? Thank you in advance for you help!      |
