Screensaver and dual monitor

I'm currently running dual monitors (22" widescreen and 17") on Vista Home
Premium. I have my 22" widescreen set up as my primary monitor. I've been
noticing that when the "Space" screensaver has been on and move the mouse,
all of the open applications suddenly move to the secondary monitor (most
were currently open on the primary monitor). This includes Media Center.

Maybe I'm wrong, but this does not sound normal. Is there some setting
that I'm missing or is this normal operation?

Re: Screensaver and dual monitor

does it happen with any screen saver or just the space one.
have used several different ones and no such problem occcurs.

maybe you need to change th orientation of which display is primary using displaty driver software.

my ati uses control panel for this.
