I turned on my computer today to find that display 1 become display 2 and vice versa.

When I go into the screen resolution setting in windows 8 it seems as if my left monitor which was display 1 is now display 2.

So physically in front of me the monitor on the left is shows as the monitor on the right in windows.

I can change which one is the primary display but if I just do that it makes my main display the one on the left but to get to the display on the right i need to move my mouse all the way to the left.

I have no idea what caused this issue

I do not want to just move the monitors because the left monitor is larger then the right one. I also cannot just change the cabling because one monitor has DVI and the other does not and the connector for the adapter doesn't fit in the other DVI plug

Her is some info on my computer

WinVer: Windows 8 64 bit version 6.2 build 9200
Asus 7870HD Driver version 9.2.0.0
Display 1 which is currently display 2 is Samsung S24B150
Display 2 which somehow got changed to 1 is Acer G236HL

Any help would be appreciated

I have already tried uninstalling the display drivers via the device manager then reisntalling them without sucess
 
Wow after all the searching the live support with windows I finally manged to figure it out.

In the screen resolution where it shows the display 1 and display 2 in a graphic. you can drag and drop their order there. I still do not know what caused the problem.
