I have a Dell Latitude in a docking station with Windows
XP Pro. Whenever I put the laptop in the docking station,
it would automatically recognize the 19 inch monitor
hooked into the station's video port as the primary
monitor. I could then extend my desktop onto the LCD
laptop screen.
Today, I undocked the computer without shutting it down
(by using the "Undock" button on the "Start" menu) for
the first time. Now, I can't get the laptop to let me use
the 19 inch monitor as the primary monitor. It will only
let me use the LCD screen as the primary monitor. This
isn't what I want. The CRT is my preferred monitor when
I'm at my desk, not the LCD.
I've tried shutting down and restarting, on and off of
the dock.
The options/checkboxes to change the primary monitor in
the desktop settings are all grayed out.
Someone please help me get my monitor back!
