The other issue is my laptop screen became my primary monitor.
Press identify, and numbers will come up on each screen. Drag it to a position similar to where your laptop screen is. You boot up, and you're probably in your desktop monitor. We'll assume you have a setup something like this: a laptop, maybe one in a dock, hooked up to a monitor. I'll show you both the Mac way and the PC way. He saw me pecking away with my laptop monitor up one day and said, 'Why don't you use that as a second monitor?' After I told him to frack off, I realized it wasn't a bad idea.
I must credit my co-worker Rafe Needleman for this idea. If you ever get envious of those cool graphic design guys with multiple monitors, ask yourself, 'Do I have a laptop?' If you do, you can run a multimonitor setup of your own.
