2 screen display problem

Help !!!

Proud owner of a new Sony Vaio laptop (Vista).

Have been using with an additional monitor (on which I normally place windows that i am monitoring but not using).

The second monitor is positioned to the left of the main (laptop) screen - you can select the chosen position and which screen is the primary screen from Vaio Control Centre (which disables the equivalent control in Windows).

On rebooting yesterday, for reasons best known to Mr Gates and or Mr Sony the second monitor had repositioned itself to the right of the main/laptop screen.

No problem it would seem - simply go to Vaio Control Centre and switch it back (as I did a couple of times previously), BUT ....

The Vaio Control Centre is still living to the left of the main screen - my cursor recognises that the main screen 'stops' at the left margin and will not go off and fetch the Vaio Control Centre window!

My Outlook Send/Receive Progress window is also hanging out in the ether to the left of my main screen (and there may be others).

Any idea how I can fetch them back into the real world ?
