The PC is connected thru a docking station to another monitor, the laptop is the right of the monitor. Everytime I lock my PC (eg, when I leave my desk), when I come back and login Vista resets my multi-display settings. It resets it as if my external monitor is to the right of the laptop, and sometimes it changes the screen resolutions. I then have to go into the display settings and move the external monitor to the left, which is a pain to have to do many many times during the day. Any known solution for this?

Only a contour and the Vista logo is visible. It remains sensitive to mouse-over however so window icons still pop up and quick launch pop-ups also still work. The only way I found to restore the task bar is to briefly lower my laptop's resolution, click Apply, and reinstate the higher resolution.

Right now i have a Samsung SyncMaster 191t monitor, but i'm also going to be getting a Dell 24" monitor. Both monitors will be hooked up to the Nvidia XFX 8600GTS video card. Can you tell me how to go about configuring Vista so I can run two applications at the same time. Thanks Hi Tony

Aero requires WDDM drivers, and you can only have one WDDM driver at a time.

Multiple monitors with different drivers will still work fine with Aero disabled.

Any idea on this? I'm hoping to use my integrated video for one monitor and a dual PCI express card for the others. I only have room for one low power low profile pci express card and I want want to run 3 monitors total, so hopefully I can... I also use Ultramon Hi,

In Windows Vista, just use your mouse to grab an empty portion of the taskbar, and drag it to the right monitor. You can also edit your Display Settings, click the right monitor, and select the This Is My Main Monitor checkbox. David, yes.
