Ok, So I've just been cleaning out in my case, installing a new hard drive and DVD-RW and getting rid of some dust too. That all went fine and windows booted fine afterwards except that dual monitors isn't working properly.

Originally I had my 20" plugged into the primary output and my 17" in the secondary and only the 17" was detected, so windows put everything on that screen and it's like the 20" is just disabled. Tried enabling it in the Display Properties and in Catalyst Control panel to no avail.

So I tried taking the 17" out and plugging the 20" into the secondary port, now the 20" had the 17"'s display fine, I'm thinking "just plug the 17" in the primary and it's sorted..." then I did it and the 20" just goes off again. Same happens when I swap them back over.

Any ideas? thanks in advance.
