Vista and the 2nd monitor...

I have just upgraded to WV Home Premium. Most of the bugs have been sorted
out, but an unusual one has popped up.

I have a second VGA monitor attached to the laptop, and most of the time it
acts just as that (I've already upgraded the ATI drivers for Vista). What
will happen is that if I put the computer to sleep and close the lid, when I
wake it back up it will revert to the 2nd monitor and make that my main one,
without showing anything on the laptop's.

I've unplugged the VGA cord, but it just leaves the laptop blank. I also
am getting a lot of weird things on the display of the laptop, just a heap of
vertical lines, which requires a reset.

Anyone shine some light on that one ?
