I've found monitor config info in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Connfiguration

Still no clue what's writing to those keys.

Thanks,

For Windows 7, they're stored in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Monitor positions reset after standby. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-positions-reset-after-standby/?ID=a7f84df9-9173-46fc-98a2-5f4656062631#12 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 16:24:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-positions-reset-after-standby/?ID=a7f84df9-9173-46fc-98a2-5f4656062631#12 DisplayFusion

Ah, it was worth a try at least. It doesn't sound like a DisplayFusion issue since it happens when DisplayFusion is closed as well, so unfortunately I won't be of much help. But I'll leave this thread open in case any other folks in the forums can provide any insight.

Thanks!


Thanks for your reply here. I posted my much-the-same problem below.

Do you know where / how Windows stores the monitor resolution, orientation and location information? My 'failure' always loses track of all three, and that might help me further find clues.

I realize you're not Windows tech support. So, no worries.

Thanks,

My detail is here ...

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/e5618281-28a3-40ad-86db-1d95f2943713

I'm out of ideas.

I have an ASUS P8P67 EVO mobo, two identical ATI 4650 Raedon cards, and 3 monitors. When the system was built, two or the monitors (on one of the cards, in the secondary slot) were positioned and set to portrait, and the third (in the primary slot) to landscape. I recently got a dual monitor stand, and wanted the two portrait monitors to be rotated to landscape. Do all the usual Windows personalizations stuff, 'position' the monitors, save/apply, and reboot.

The monitors came back as portrait. Repeat to the point of annoyance, and try things:

clean start, driver updates, Catalyst Control Center updates, remove/install/remove DiaplayFusion Pro, remove video card, video card / monitor swaps, reset CMOS. In every case, the issue returns - the monitor(s) on the secondary card boots into portrait.

I'm out of ideas.

The hardware configuration now has two monitors on the prior one monitor' (primary) card, running in landscape. The third monitor, now on the original #2 monitor card (secondary), demonstrates the issue.

Any clues would be welcomed. Thanks,

Looks like disabling the TMM Scheduled Task might do the trick.

Could you open that up and configure your monitors via that window and let me know how it goes?

Whenever I close my laptop and come back to it, it resets to thinking that the second monitor is located to the right and I have to go to Open Display Properties and drag the window back in place.

This happens whether or not the second monitor is in portrait mode (which it often is) or whether I'm using Pro mode (activating the trial didn't help).

Anyone else have this problem? Resetting the window locations is getting old. ]]>
