Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Making Secondary monitor my primary
Alan   2008-10-16 19:30
I have just bought a second panel for my laptop (Gateway using 915 series Intel chipset which is the same as the chipset on my Dell Inspiron 1300).

I set the panel up on my Dell and switch to my panel as my primary monitor using the laptop as my secondary). I use Ultramon to do this. On my Dell I can both extend my desktop and make the 2nd my primary. All very nice.

Now we get to my partners Gateway.
Using Ultramon I am unable to both extend my desktop AND use the second as my primary. As soon as I enable Use as Primary the panel loses the signal.

So I am unable to have my secondary as my primary monitor. All very frustrating as my partner needs that more than I do. She uses PhotoShop all the time and could well use the better display as her primary.

I have installed the latest chipset for the Gateway laptop.

Can anyone throw some light on this?

TIA
Alan

Not sure what would cause this, have you tried changing the primary monitor via the Intel software for the video chipset?
