Mal-operation with second screen on Vista

Hi All,

I have a Lenovo laptop with Vista Premium.

Anyway, I hooked up a second screen to the Lenovo. After all, it is
handy to have two screens in al sorts of circumstances.

Anyway, after doing some Windows and FireFox updates I found FireFox
bookmarks weren't always opening. And after I installed the Free Agent
newsreader it wouldn't completely update the newsgroups.

Strange faults. Nothing about them on Google either.

Much muttering and grumbling on my part.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, these funny faults only appear if
Agent and FireFox (and presumably other applications) are opened on, or
once opened, are moved to the second screen.

Leave them on the main screen and they work perfectly.

Strange stuff.

I checked IE7 with this two screen fault, and IE7 works fine on both
screens near as I can tell.

It is quite weird to have Firefox bookmarks working fine, and then drag
it to the second screen when the Firefox bookmarks won't open at all.

Weird!
