Go to display properties, settings: makes sure the LCD is "use this device as your primary monitor", or vice verse.

PowerStrip includes a feature to allow you to set the default device for D3D usage. I know that worked for selecting which of multiple video cards became the default, but I don't know how that works with multiple displays off of one video card. I know that the ATI control panel also lets you select which display out of several becomes the "primary", with respect to Windows'.
