Monitor 1 & 2 identify in reverse

After I plugged my hp pavilion dv9000 into the base, it decided that
the external monitor was 1, and the laptop monitor was 2. I've
restarted and the problem persists. Anyone seen this before? What can
I do?

This is a laptop I presume..

Some laptops do not allow an external monitor to become monitor 1
This is built into the hardware and cannot changed from the driver...

stupid.. I know

Im not sure if this add on utility allows this though www.ultramon.com

If you find that ultramon works somehow please let me know too...

Yeah, I have had that happen when I reinstalled Vista. Either reconnect the
monitors the right way around, or swap them over using UltraMon.

Oh, I misread. You are using a laptop, but you can still swap them around
with UltraMon. I have no idea why Vista does this. It never happens in XP.
If it happens with laptops, it is much more of a serious problem.

Weird thing is, it's not a new laptop, or external. I've been using
them in combination for almost a year with no problem. Wish I knew
what could have triggered this.

It seems to happen randomly in my experience, normally after graphics card
driver update, or a OS reinstall. Never ever happened in XP though.
