Hi,
thank you for your suggestion. This is shareware and cost 40 bucks. Is there any other solution?

the easiest way I've found to get around the problem is to use 12noons display changer (http://www.12noon.com/)

and switch primary and secondary monitors through a batch file, mine looks like this:

Code:
"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY2" -more -primary 

"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY1" -apply -secondary -lx=-1280 -ty=128

"C:\Program Files\HTPC\XBMC Media Center\XBMC.exe" 

"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY1" -more -primary

"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY2" -apply -secondary -lx=1280 -ty=128

of course, you'll have to manipulate it to fit your situation.
