What is Transient Multimon Manager

I was running a dual monitor from my hp laptop. Sometime my laptop screens flickers
at the time of working. One my colleague suggested that this is due toe the
Transient Multimon Manager ( TMM ) feature in Windows Vista which makes it quiet easy
to run a dual monitor on a same system. In a course of time I had stop using a dual monitor.
I believe that it is due to the TMM service running. I want to know more about this service.
Also how to disable when i don't required and enabled it back at the time of use.
Send suggestions.
