Windows Multi-Display question. by dodrian 2007-11-29 14:57:31
I installed Windows XPw/SP2 on my Macbook Pro so I can do some Uni coursework on it, and also so I can play Age of Empires :-).

I have a dual-display set up though, and like to use the larger external monitor as my primary display. I opened "Display Properties" from the control panel, and clicked on "Settings" to see the monitors, however when I choose my external monitor from the list, the option "Use this device as the primary monitor" is grayed out.

Does anyone know why this is, and if it's possible for me to use my external monitor as the primary display?
