This happens with my twin monitors, and somebody else here mentioned the
same thing when using a laptop just a couple of days ago. It seems to be a
common problem with Vista, but I have never seen it happen in XP.

If you had twin monitors you could swap the cables around every time it
happens, but as you are using a laptop, using UltraMon will be the only
solution that I can think of. It allows you to change the primary monitor
very easily.
