Poor instructions from MS

Recommended Posts

Heyho, Was searching for information concerning setting up a dual monitor system. Got to MS, and got this gem of inadequacy...

The settings shown here are for Windows 7, but they are basically the same as those available for Windows Vista and Windows XP.

If necessary, you can drag the monitor icons so that they are arranged in the same way as the monitors on your desk.

Click Identify to verify which monitor is 1 and which monitor is 2. You’ll see the numbers appear on your monitors.

The word, Identify was emboldened, so, clearly was meant to be a link to a process. But, where do we find this - Identify?

Nowhere either before or after is this enigmatic nonsense referred to. If this is help, then we are all doomed to search forever in the wilderness.

Does anyone actually know where this mystical - Identify - can be found?

MS need to employ better Help writers, cos this one's a dork.

Yep but users (you ;)) may provide a link to the EXACT page where they found the cited info. :whistle:

The info seemingly comes from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/organization/twomonitors.aspx

and is accomapnied by a screenshot of the actual windows you should have before you, where a button labeled "Identify" should be present.

The button is also (barely) visible in screenshot posted on the mentioned page. (there are actually TWO buttns on the top right, one "Detect" and one "Identify")

Clck Identify

in the context seem to me clear enough.

So, what is the problem? :w00t:
