Problem displaying presentation on dual monitor setup

The computer that I am using for training sessions has two monitors
attached. One of the monitors is connected to a projector. This is the
primary display. The task bar and all desktop icons are on this display.
When I open a program it also displays on the projector. However when
I open a PPS it opens on the other monitor.
I cannot get it to display on the monitor that it should. It was,
however, working correctly until a couple of days ago. Someone did make
a change to the video setup, and this seems to be what caused the
problem. We cannot figure out how to correct it.
The presentations were developed in PP 2000, and the level on the
computer is PP 2003. These have not changed.
Is there something in PowerPoint that tells it how to open in a
multi-display setup?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi John

Open the PowerPoint presentation and check slide show -> setup slide show ->
'display slide show on' is set to the correct monitor.

Does that fix it? I also have a vague memory of once setting Outlook to open
on my secondary monitor automatically but I can't remember how I did it,
whether it was an Outlook setting or a graphics card setting or a windows
setting or anything....
