    I use an external monitor with my FZ and I have it on the left side, not the default right side. Whenever I disconnect it (whether I have TMM enabled or not), I have to reposition the monitor back to the left as the default setting places it on the right side when I connect it again. Does anyone know if there is a setting - even in Registry - that will keep it on the left?

    Basically - I would like TMM to automatically handle the connection of the external display, but I don't want to have to go to display settings to drag the external to the left every time I connect/disconnect.

    Wow, I'll see if I can get to all of these suggestions... :)

    Anyway, I installed a new nVidia driver (175.16) and now nVidia "remembers" my left side set up automagically. Sweet.
