Stuck on dual monitors
When I first turned on my new Inspiron 3030, I used a HDMI TV as the monitor. A couple of days later, I added a VGA monitor, which appeared as display 2. Now the computer won't show anything on the VGA monitor unless the HDMI TV is connected. With both monitors on, I have a dual display, but even if I select display 2 as the main display, if I disconnect the HDMI, the display on the VGA monitor goes black. How do I make it forget about "display 1" and go back to a single monitor?

Inspiron 3030 Desktop or 3030 Small Desktop?
Do you have an add-in video card or only onboard Intel Graphics?
Is the HDMI monitor connected to the onboard Intel HDMI port or to an add-in video card HDMI port?
You're using VGA, so how is this monitor connected?
Are you rebooting PC after setting the VGA monitor as #1 and then disconnecting HDMI monitor?
