Second screen on Laptop - Changing Screen Arrangement

Hi All,

I run Windows XP (SP 3) on a Compaq nw8440 laptop with an ATI Radeon X1600 graphics adapter.

I use an HP L1908w as a 2nd screen.

Under DISPLAY PROPERTIES --> SETTINGS:
The default screen arrangement is as follows:  [1]  [2]
(So my laptop-screen [1] is on the left and the 2nd screen [2] is on the right).

When I drag and drop screen [2] to the Left and click OK, it changes the arrangement to:  [2]  [1]
(Which is the way I want it)

--so far so good--

However, when I log out and back in, the default settings has been restored, viz.  [1]  [2].

I've also tried to do this via ATI's Catalyst Control Center, however the same problem occurs.

How do I force (and Save) the DISPLAY SETTINGS on XP to remember the new screen layout?

Thank you
