I have Vista Home Premium. I recently bought and added an emerson HDTV/monitor to my computer.
My Acer H233H flat panel is hooked up to the DVI-D video port, and the Emerson is connected to the HDMI connector. I spread the desktop across both.
Until I added the Emerson, the desktop icons stayed where I placed them.
After the Emerson, the icons moved all to the left side of the flat panel in one large rectangular block. They aren't on top of each other, but spread apart correctly.
Today when I turned on the computer, and used the remote to turn on the Emerson, the block of icons moved to the center of the flat panel screen.
Is there anyway, cheaply or free, I can put the icons where I want them, and have them stay put ?
There was a program years ago that would do this for Win98 and I think WinXP, but I haven't heard of one that does the same for Vista.
Thanks !
edit: and if I turn off the emerson, the icons I placed there move back. But that part is likely normal.
