    Hi,

    I have created a scheme in Presentation Director called "external to the right" where I have chosen to stretch the desktop over both monitors. I have my IBM T60p in the dock to the left of a 20" external screen. The 20" screen is set as the primary monitor.

    What I do:
    I put my computer to sleep and go to a meeting room and work for a while. I put it to sleep once again by closing the lid, walk back to my space and insert it in the dock. Open the lid so it wakes up again sitting to the left of my 20" monitor.

    Problem:
    The screens are reversed when the "external to the right" scheme automatically is activated. I.e. to drag a window from 20" to laptop I have to slide it to the right - but the laptop is on the left side.

    I have to go to Display Properties - Settings and drag the monitors in the correct order. The screens are set to "1" to the left and "2" to the right which is incorrect.

    How do I get out of having to correct this manually each and every time. It is quite annoying.
