Hello:

In the Display settings in Windows XP Control Panel, the drop-down list for
monitor 1 and 2 read "(Multiple)". Now, only 1 says "(Mulitple)". #2 says
"Plug and Play".

I want them both to say "(Multiple)" in the drop-down list. I wish that I
had never played with these settings, and I cannot remember how to switch
them back.

I don't care about those two checkboxes at the bottom. I just want each of
the two selections in the drop-down to red "(Multiple)" ,like it was in the
beginning. Would rebooting help? If not, how do I fix this?

Thanks!

Re: I want "Multiple" monitor for both 1 and 2

The names reflect the actual device description of the driver. If
you had an NEC 90GX2 then that monitor ( Using the vendor
driver ) would show that name. Plug-&-Play is the default or
generic monitor driver XP uses when no vendor specific one is
used. I've never encountered a monitor description "Multiple",
you may want to try and get/install the exact monitor driver for
each one you use.
