EventGhost

WAY delayed, but thanks for this! This enabled me to get my Boxee setup that much closer to being bulletproof.

I can verify that this problem also exists with an ATI Radeon 4850 running under Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. A Set Display Preset that ACTIVATES and extends the desktop to a secondary monitor works like a champ, but when it's time to deactivate it and return the extended desktop to the primary monitor ...
