Video Card and Monitor Defaults mixed up.

Been googling for days on this issue.

I have an 8800GT and a 7600 GT Geforce card. The 8800 is for my primary monitor, a Nec, and also runs a small Dell. The 7600 is for two Dells. But when I go to Preferences in CS3 and check "GPU Settings" it says it detects the 7600 card, not the 8800.

So then I looked at Vista color management and there it shows the monitor connected to the 7600 card as my default monitor.

How can I change the default monitor to make it the Nec, which is already the primary? And will that cause Photoshop to then detect the 8800 card instead of the 7600?
Thanks.

I'll re-phrase. How do I change the default monitor in Vista 64?

Right-click on the desktop, go to 'personalize', then display settings.

That is how to select the primary and secondary monitors/video cards. It does not select default monitor as shown in Display Settings>advanced settings>color management>color management tab> and then under, Name/ICC Profiles
