I'm trying to set presets in AMD Catalyst Control Center and I know how to do that but every time I set my presets the way I want them and switch through them to see if they worked one preset setup rearranges itself. I want to do extended desktop on 3 monitors when I'm not gaming and eyefinity when I'm gaming. My desktop preset is 1/2/3 but when I switch presets and then go back to it the outcome is:
2
1/3 The middle monitor acts like there is an invisible one under it and to move my cursor to that display I literally have to take my mouse off the screen and over to the middle one. Anyone know how to fix this? I would be greatful for a fix.

You can move the monitors around in the video options, if 2 is over the other ones, you'll see the monitors in that configuration.

Another issue that causes problems (and I've worked on MANY 2-3-4 monitor systems with quirky issues where I had to do this) is the Windows default monitor detection. You may have to move the monitor connections on the video card around a bit to make sure the monitor in the left is seen as 1, then 2 then 3 on the right instead of just moving them around in software.

I will try that soon. But if what your saying happens to me, won't I have to move the monitor everytime I switch presets?

so I went to the video tab in catalyst control center but I couldn't find anything. I know what you mean about the default adjustment but I really want the presets to work.
