I'm using WinXP and have a Geforce FX Go 700 with nView drivers. I've got an external monitor which I use in addition to my laptop's LCD. Windows likes to default to having that monitor to the right, so when you move the mouse cursor to the right, it shows up on the 2nd monitor. Makes sense right? Course it does.

But in my setup, the 2nd monitor is above the LCD. Now I can manually move the monitor in the video settings above the LCD with no problem, but when I reboot, it resets back to the right!!!!

Does anyone know how to make this permanent? I've messed with the nView drivers, but they don't seem to want to have anything to do with monitor placement.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
