Default Icons keep moving

Hopefully somebody here can help.

I experimented with a dual monitor setup for about a week and then decided
it wasn't working for me. Now that I have disabled and disconnected the
second monitor everytime I startup my icons are not where I put them. I
rearrange them back to how I want them and the next startup they are all
back like they were the last time before I moved them to where I wanted
them. This is getting annoying, does anybody have a clue what's up with it.
Thanks in advance.

System setup

Athlon 2400+ XP
Windows 98SE
MSI 5200 display card with latest drivers

Uncheck "Auto arrange" if checked. Right click desktop, click "arrange icons" and
uncheck "AA".

Ok, went in and deleted all monitors from the system setup menu and let it
reinstall it them. Now it works correctly.
