I just got a second monitor and I love it. Windows Vista however seems to be identifying the monitors backwards. The computer boots up on my left monitor, but Vista itself identifies that monitor as monitor 2. I "fixed" it by moving the monitors around in the display settings, but I'd still like to know what's going on. Any idea why this is happening?

Hard to say, since you have an unusual case. Most dual-monitor cards boot-up on BOTH monitors! Probably some issue with the BIOS on your adapter card, and/or Vista not having the right information for your card. I'd think that in most all cases, Vista gets what it needs from BIOS and/or DDC. Your adapter card is responsible for both of those, so I would start at the forums for your card manufacturer.

It's a dual monitor Nvidia 8600 GT if that helps at all.
