To change a SoftXpand Host’s display settings in Windows:

1. Log on to Windows with an administrative user account.
2. Go to Start > Control Panel < Display (or right-click the desktop and select Properties). The Display Properties dialog box will open.
   Note: an "Invalid Display Settings” may appear. This message is the result of the SoftXpand virtual video driver and should be ignored. Click OK to close it.
3. In the Settings tab select the monitor whose setting requires changing.
   
   
   
   
4. If the relevant monitor is not currently active, once selecting it, check the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor checkbox and click Apply. The monitor will display Windows desktop.
   Tip: use the Identify button to identify the monitor number.
5. Make any desired changes to the display settings, checking their implementation in the relevant monitor.
6. When finished, click on OK in the Display Properties dialog box and confirm the "Invalid Display Settings” message again.
7. Start SoftXpand.
