totally screwed up something with displays

[Red Squirrel]

I was trying to make a wallpaper span accross two monitors. The issue is that it goes on my first (which is physically the second) then spawns to the second (but physical the first, as it's on the left)

So I messed around with monitor orders to see if I can make it swap. It mucked everything up badly.

1: any new window now opens on the wrong monitor
2: every time I boot up, my icons are on the wrong monitor
3: Whenever I use photoshop, the program just locks up completly, the X is disabled and everything, this makes no sense.

I reverted back the settings I changed but it's still screwed up. The most messed up part of photoshop is that the program cannot be terminated. task manager wont even do anything. I have to reboot to get rid of it.

Also another weird thing about the photoshop lock up is that the interface is somewhat still responsive. It seems to crash when I go to pick a color. I get the water drop tool even though I clicked color, and I can hover over controls and see it react, just can't click anywhere. It's messed.

I would disable the second monitor in windows, then power down and physically disconnect the second monitor.

Power back up and see if things work correctly.

Hopefully they do, next power back down and reconnect the second monitor.
Re-set everything within windows.

I have had goofy stuff like this happen to me too. It usually occured when using the display properties to do things and using the nvidia tools to make changes.

Also check out ultramon if you aren't already. It can help with some of the stuff you were trying to do.
