I accidently unplugged the monitor plug while the computer was on and now when I plug it back in my display is secondary. I can't use the computer because everything is in secondary and I can't even access display settings and ati settings.. what to do??? I plugged out all power and waited a bit, I changed the plugs in the back of the comp but nothing seems to help.

what card you got? if it has 2 outputs try the other one??

**Kiariitf** · 03-03-2011, 09:52 PM

yeah tried the 2 outputs but nothing worked.

I just fixed it by using the move window command which I never used. I was able to move the ati control panel window onto the secondary screen and make the secondary screen primary.. such a hassle, but happy it's working again

thx anyway
