Has anyone had issues with Windows 7 forgetting their monitor configuration?

I have my pc connected to dual displays and my LCD TV in the adjacent room (3 total displays). My main video card, 4850, connects to my main display and the LCD TV. My second video card, 4550, is connected to the second display. I have the 4850 going to the TV so that I can clone the TV to my main display. I configured it so that the main display is on the right and the second display is on the left. However, it seems that whenever I reboot, phyiscally the correct monitor is the main display but Windows thinks it is now on the left side instead of the right side. It also moves my desktop icons from the main display to the second display even though it leaves the start menu/task bar on the main display. Any Ideas? Thanks

This may sound a bit extraneous, but if changing drivers did not help your issue, and you have a service running called: Windows Live Mesh remote connections service; try disabling it. That’s what finally worked for me!
