Ok, I have three monitors on a computer. The monitor on the AGP card is 1, the monitors on the PCI card are 2 and 3 (in display properties). When I VNC into the system I can only see monitor 1. I need to see monitor 2. So I would like to rearrange the monitors so that 2 is 1, 3 is 2 and 1 is 3.

How do you do that? I can't find anywhere that I can rearrange those. I can move them around, but the monitor display number stays the same. Help!!!!

Go into Display Properties/Settings, then Drag and drop the Monitors in the order you would like them

it doesn't always works, certain program/os lets u rearrange it but physicall it wont work.. ie

1 | 2 | 3

if you move the order to

2 | 1 | 3

physically, you will see it from 2, 1, 3 but software like netop and pcanywhere will see 2 as 1 and 1 as 2, so when u click on 2, u're actually clicking 1 on the remote side.

W2k & WXP differs

Changing the order in the display proporties doesn't change the display number, just like forcesho says. From what I read PCAnyhere doesn't support multiple displayes. Did I read that wrong? I know VNC does, but only if they are on a single card, which doesn't help me.
