    Today I was trying to hook up another moniter to my sxps16 and then after a while it changed my visual scheme to vista basic, made the new moniter 640*480 resolution, put the colours to 16bit and the refresh rate to 59hrz and would not let me change them.

    It worked fine to start off with with 32 bit colours, 1280*1024 res, 75hrz and vista aero. I'm really confused, is there any way to fix it or is it ust stck that way for good. It works fine if I set it as my only moniter and it displays at the right res but when I try to use extended desktop it does that
