My name is Andrew Sutton, aka Shandy.

I am currently living and working in the UK within the garment industry as an IT specialist. This blog contains mainly IT related issues.

I was a Microsoft VB MVP for a couple of years (Apr 2004-Mar 2006) and was a vbCityLeader between April 2003 and June 2007.

I have added a second 19" monitor to my D620 system at work. The first monitor has an analogue connection to the docking station but the second monitor has a DVI connection.

The two monitor setup is a vast improvement over my previous  single monitor setup allowing me to run my development environment in one window and view the application I am developing in another. This is achieved by extending the desktop.

The only glitch I currently have is that I have the analogue monitor on my left and the DVI on the right. The analogue has been registered as the first monitor and the DVI as the second but I have set the DVI as my primary monitor. It all works fine when I set it up but on a reboot the XP swaps the monitors so that it thinks the anaologe is on the right and the DVI on the left. Presumably I have missed a setting that is needed to save which way around the monitors physically are on my desktop.
