That wasn't the question; the question was how to get it to "stick" at
those settings. How is that done?

Update the video driver...

If it supports dual monitors properly - then it will hold those settings for
most windows. There may be a few archaic applications that 'reset' this for
themselves.

If it doesn't or the dual monitor setup was done with some hodge-podge
method (not using dual-port video cards or using completely different video
cards just to have dual monitors, etc) - then there *may be* some third
party software solution - but nothing native I can think of.

Leonard: GREAT, I understood exactly and it worked. Thank you so very much.
I did not know it could have something to do with video driver. I went to
ATI site, downloaded latest video driver and installed it. PERFECT. Thanks
again.
