Stuck in Monitor span mode
« on: February 19, 2004, 11:12:38 PM »
Ok I admit it..I've pulled a real boner this time!

I was screwing with my windows display properties and clicked the "extend desktop to another monitor" box.
(I think that's what it said.)
Only problem is I only have 1 monitor!
Now all aps open to the nonexistant monitor off the screen!
(except IE).
I cant right click on the desktop and get the properties menu back...it also opens off the screen.
How can I get back into single monitor mode?
Arrgh!  any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
