Media center problem

I have two monitors hooked to my computer and I have been using them like this since I received my XPS 700.
 
Last night i rearanged my computer desk and moved the monitors around. When I did this I went into my desktop properies and swapped the monitors around. When I did this everything went well with the exception of the media center.
 
When I open my media center now it does not disply, but it is open. If I go to the system task bar and right click on the media center and click on Maximize then it will open up. If I click the resize button in the top right corner the screen it completely disapears. Now when I click the media center in the task bar it looks like it opens but it goes off the screen to the left of the monitor, but I can not get to it. I only have two monitors installed on the system and there is not third monitor so I do not know why it is trying to go off the screen.
 
Does else has this problem or know how to fix it.

I'd try switching back to one monitor, open media center and see what happens.  May just have to center it and then go back to 2.  Just a guess.

I was able to get it working again. Not thanks to Dell support. They were baffled, but then again what's new.
 
I had to switch monitors back and click apply and then switch them back again and click apply again. I figured this out on my own while Dell kept putting me on hold.

I've had this problem too but my solution was to switch to Clone Mode with the displays which forces all open windows onto the primary screen.  Then I was able to minimize or close the windows that had disappeared.  Then I switch back to Dual Mode and put windows where I want them again.
