Make monitor primary display?

When I got a 19" crt for an extra monitor for my Gateway laptop 450 xphome v2002 last year using ie6, I could toggle the Monitor to be the primary display (#1). This was done by Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Monitor .... This brought up the gray popup with a picture on the bottom of a monitor a laptop and a TV screen. Then just press the in/out buttons to make the monitor or laptop be #1 or #2. Very simple.

Then last week I downloaded IE7 and now that screen is no longer to be found ... I just get a 'properties' on the last step and no way to toggle my desktop over to the monitor

Is anyone familiar with that popup I'm talking about? After the operation it used to 'identify' with the big white nr. Now I can't get the #1 over to the monitor....does this description make sense to anyone?

That panel is completely dependent on your display adapter driver.

Download a fresh driver from the manufacturer, and reinstall.

Use Device Management to identify your exact adapter.
