Making Secondary Monitor the Primary

alaska907 · 06-18-2008, 05:55 PM

Ive got an irritating problem. I have connected a second monitor to my dell inspiron 2650 laptop and I've been trying to make it the primary monitor. It worked a couple months ago at my girlfriends with this same monitor, but now that i have her monitor here I can't get this to work because the "use this device my primary monitor" is grayed out. I'm trying to play counter-strike on the bigger one and I have had no luck at all. Im not familiar at all with drivers, could this be the problem ? could my drivers gotten messed up since last time this worked ?

p.s. i did spill some bong water on the keyboard ( not much. maybe like a tablespoon ), now everytime i boot up the laptop it makes this yetti sound for like a minute straight following this message telling me to contact dell support center with a long error report number, then when xp opens to my desktop, something is automatically scrolling through all my files, i found out i can stop it by simply pressing my caps button, the problem doesnt occur again untill next reboot.
