If you reboot your system, does that fix up the monitor numbers, or are they still mismatched between the Windows display settings and DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration? ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#11 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:36:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#11 DisplayFusion I just had to replace both video cards in this system (lots of display issues). My primary and secondary monitors are the same number. In DF, the numbers for the Triggers are the same, first 2 are #1, all the rest are #2. However, I now see that the problem is that DisplayFusion is reversing what numbers it thinks my monitors are. DF says my primary monitor is #2 and my secondary monitor is #1 - in Windows Display Settings, those numbers are reversed. Do you still want that fixed backup? Not sure how that helps given that's its not the numbers in the Triggers that are changing, but how DF is enumerating my monitors. ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#10 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 18:06:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#10 DisplayFusion Thanks! When I import them, I get the same results (first two are monitor 1, the rest are monitor 2). Can you try fixing them up, then make a new backup of the settings and send it to me? ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#9 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 15:51:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#9 DisplayFusion attached ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#8 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:43:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#8 DisplayFusion Could you attach a copy of the backup file that you're importing? ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#7 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:55:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#7 DisplayFusion My machine crashed, I had to rebuild, when I imported my settings for DF, the monitor numbers are reversed again, but this time for (and only for) Triggers. I know for a fact that these numbers could not have been this way before (at least I know that my primary and secondary monitors have not changed). ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#6 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 17:38:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#6 DisplayFusion Ok, would you be able to do the following?
  • Fix and save the desktop icon profiles
  • Export your DF Settings (Settings > Options > Export)
  • Save a copy of the info from the DF Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 when they are messed up again and attach both sets of info here so that I can compare them

Thanks! ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#5 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 19:27:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#5 DisplayFusion

Were the icons reversed when you booted up?


No

Yes ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#4 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 18:39:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#4 DisplayFusion Were the icons reversed when you booted up?

However, I just realized that this is not affecting anything else. I said the numbers changed, because I figured that was the cause, but this is not affecting what is primary or any other DF settings. ]]> RE: Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#2 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:06:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4#2 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion can't cause the monitor IDs to change, but it is definitely possible that they've changed. I've seen it happen before :)

I would try a full reboot first, if you haven't already. If the monitor IDs remain the same, and the profiles are still backwards, I'd recommend arranging the desktop icons again and then re-saving the profiles. ]]> Monitor numbers changed https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4 Wed, 30 Mar 2016 17:34:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-numbers-changed/?ID=a54d0d60-4f65-406d-bf70-0f61e6f6c9d4 DisplayFusion I don't know how or if this is even a DisplayFusion problem, or even if that is what has happened, but I think my monitor numbers have changed. The only place this is evident is my Desktop Icon Profiles now are reversed (1 on 2 and 2 on 1). I have 3 of these, and all are reversed, so I know it's not just an user error. How could that happen? I have not changed any hardware or drivers. ]]>
