Dual Monitor Help

Heya guys I got 2 monitors running off of a nVidia 7800GTX card 1 through DVI (Main Monitor) and the second through VGA via DVI-VGA Adapter.

Now the problem I have is the second monitor is displaying way too much green than it should be and if I change resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 backgrounds show up a bit pinkish

Here are the results of 1280x1024

Main Screen

Second Screen

But the thing is if I switch and have main through vga and second through dvi they both show the colors nicely as they should be but I want the 19" as primary and 17" as secondary.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Plug the 19" one in first in the VGA, then boot up, plug your other monitor in the DVI and reboot and your 19" should stay as primary.

<edit> You can actually set the primary monitor in the display settings too, it will just be labelled as "2" (unless you do what I said above) but it will still act as the primary monitor.

Edited to late, do you use ultramon? That will let you do it too.

I did do that but on the dual view all the taskbar and stuff was on the 17" I wanted it on the 19"
