Windows 7 dual screens

I have a 24" as my primary and a 20" as a secondary.

Here is my problem.

Lets say I am watching a video on the secondary screen and I open a game on the primary it pushes the video farther right and it makes it so I can no see the video anymore. It also does this to the browser window. As soon as I minimize the game it returns to normal. If I play the game in windowed mode this does not happen.

Check the resolution of the game you are playing. That mostly happens when it isn't running at the native / same resolution as the desktop.

As Janus said, this is a resolution problem. When the game runs, the resolution goes down, which "pushes" program to the right. The video player uses an offset from the left side (x pixels from the left), so when the main monitor's resolution changes, and is farther over as a result.
