VGA and S-Video Dual Monitors

I've installed Vista Beta 2, and I'm having trouble making it work with my
video card, an nVidia Geforce FX 5500 with 2 VGA outs and one S-Video out.

I'd like to be able to run my VGA monitor at a high resolution, while my TV
is connected via S-Video at a lower resolution (basically for Media Center).
I can set this up in Vista, but whenever I restart the machine, both monitors
display the same desktop (not an extended desktop, as I would like), with
both set at 800 x 600.

Is there some way I can lock the resolution and desktop settings so that I
don't need to change them each time I boot up?
