Thanks a lot for publishing this trick. I am using a Belkin KVM USB FLIP switch and it used to work when I had XP on my laptop. With VISTA installed it drove me crazy till I applied the above and disabled the TMM.
Thanks again.

On my machine (a ThinkPad T60p) it turned out that the graphics driver was the problem. My driver was the ATI Mobility Driver from Windows Update, version 8.363.0.0, and when I installed the driver from the Lenovo site instead (version 8.383.1.1) the issue was fixed. The change history in the README mentions something similar – “Display position of the extended desktop is changed after re-docking the system.”

[...] After a brief search on the Internet, I found several references to the Transient Multi-Monitor Manager. This is an application that is started by Task Scheduler to make it easier for mobile PCs to reconfigure their displays when plugging external monitors into them. The workaround suggested in several places is to disable the task. An especially good article was made by netsaber. [...]

Thanks for the tip. Worked a treat. Pity Vista doesn’t save the settings so that such a fix is not required.
