Try the -multimonitor command-line parameter (add it to your current
parameters).
I believe that is the name of it... might be -multiplemonitor. In fact,
either may work. In any case, it will fail to startup if the name is
incorrect, in which case you should try the other one.

I have recently installed a second monitor onto my system (XP PRO) where
the second monitor is to the LEFT of the main screen.
The architecture correctly (in my opinion) treats the 0,0 point as being
on the new, left-hand screen and everything works fine on that screen.
If, however, I drag a window across from the left screen to the main
screen, it freezes. Doesn't do anything at all, no input, no refresh.
Dragging it back makes it happy again.
I assume that it believes it is now off-screen.
