In the Screen Resolution window, under Change the appearance of your displays , click and drag one of the monitors to its correct location vs. the other one. The Identity numbers don't matter.

Windows 7 - Display 'A' Philips primary display - Display 'B' IBM secondary display. A shows as Identity 2 and B shows as Identity 1. I want to reverse these. Reason is that the cursor currently travels from display B to A and I need it to go the other way - due to physical location of displays

2014-05-27T16:31:57+00:00 My monitor display setup used to be that my LCD monitor was first and my AOC brand monitor was second. Then I did something or other (I honestly have no clue what happened, I made a dragging motion of sorts but that isn't working now) and all of sudden my AOC monitor was first and my LCD was second. If you want to explore all the possibilities of exactly what happened involving my action then do so and please give me any results, I would very much like to reverse my actions.
