Computer starts up on Monitor 2
 
When starting up the computer, and having the singers monitor ready, the computer thinks the second montor is the first. How can I prevent this from happening?

To fix it temp. I have to take out the lead to the 2nd monitor and re-start the computer, then shutdown the computer place the lead back in and restart again.

Thanks for reading.

Fix your display settings so the computer monitor is the primary. Right click on the desktop, choose properties, when it opens click on the settings tab. Click on advanced, click on identify and make sure the computer monitor comes up as the #1 screen and the singers monitor is #2. If so then click on the "1" monitor and make sure underneath it it says it is the primary.

Thats what I do. But sometimes on startup it misbehaves.

Is this a desktop or a laptop? It may be losing the video from the VGA signal and then the outboard video will switch to primary. Here are some suggestions.
Check the VGA connection before startup. Replace the VGA cable. I would hate to suggest it, but there is a possibility that the primary video may be on the way out.

Good thinking. I'll do that.
