By secondary display do you mean another monitor? I wasn't able to find a setting by the name you listed in my own info, and I also use XP Pro. But I only have one monitor.
I believe in any event you should be able to work around the problem by switching DS to software rendering and then back to hardware mode. This should reset the map in DirectX.
