Dual monitor issue

I want trying to follow the tutorials so I want to see the documentation, TXB, and Visual Studio C# on separate screens. I have an external lcd monitor connected my laptop. My laptop lcd is the primary screen.
When I open TXB, it shows up on my primary screen with black contents inside. I have to move it to my second screen in order to see the contents. When I open a project, loading components definition shows up on my primary screen. If I run the project in TXB, the game shows up on my primary display. If I open another project, TXB automatically moves itself to my primary screen with black contents inside.
If I hit Alt-Enter to try to go full screen, I get an error message that says
Fatal-ISV:(..\..\source\dgl\gTexManager.cc @ 484)
Error resurrecting the texture cache.
Possible cause: a bitmap was deleted during the course of gameplay.
Sometimes I can never go back to window mode again, I have to uninstall TXB and reinstall. Are there any command line switches or console commands that I can type to force particular video resolution or window/full screen mode?
My setup
ATI Mobile Radeon 9700 with latest driver
Primary screen - 1280x800 32-bit color
Secondary screen - 1920x1200 32-bit color

There is an xml file called something like projectsettings that specifies a resolution, you can try changing that.

An odd issue indeed. Have you tried disabling one monitor or setting the secondary as the primary and seeing what happens?
