Windows – Secondary monitor can’t be set as primary in XP

multiple-monitorswindows xp

This is for my work computer, so I am stuck with XP.

I'm using a laptop and a secondary monitor.

I can extend the desktop to my secondary monitor without a problem.

When I check off "Use this device as the primary monitor" checkbox and hit "Apply", the secondary monitor is disabled entirely (no longer extended) and only my laptop works. I have no idea why this is occurring, any ideas?

I ended up using the graphics card settings tool as opposed to the windows XP settings and that seemed to work.
