Second monitor shifting right towards off-screen when gaming

I've recently tried doing searches for when Firefox/IE/Chrome shifts to the right on my second monitor when I play a game that locks the first monitor completely for game play, to no avail.

I'm rather sure I can't be the only one this happens to but haven't found what I'm looking for.

My system is a Core i5 (760 @ 2.8GHz), 8GB memory, 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate N (SP1), AMD Radeon HD 7900 (driver version 12.104.0.0).

Both BenQ monitor(s) are running 1920x1080, the main being a GW2450 on a DVI connection, the second being a G2420HDBL on an SVGA to Micro-DVI connection (but it was happening on SVGA to SVGA earlier, as well).

Everything works fine, other than when I am using a game that locks the screen, the web browser shifts half a screen to the right and makes any quick reading during games rather difficult.

Suggestions?
If there's any pertinent information I've left out, feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance!

That might work for newer games such as Diablo 3, but if I'm running Heroes of Might and Magic III, I'm not sure it's available. I have the games running maximized, how do I ensure it's running at 1920x1080?
