    Anyone have any ideas here...

    I setup my D630 with a second display the other day, and it went thru some auto config stuff initially and then asked me whether I wanted a cloned screen or extended. The extended option also allowed me to 'extend left' or 'extend right'. I chose left b/c my 2nd display is positioned to the left of my laptop on the desk. Worked great.

    So, pulled the laptop at some point to use it elsewhere, now when I plug back in, it's 'extended right' and I can't find a setting anywhere in display properties or the intel software to switch it back.

    Any thoughts?
    D630, Vista Business

    Thanks,
    Chris
