Guest childofthe1980s Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 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! childofthe1980s
Guest R. McCarty Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 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.
