Controlling three displays easily?

Hello,

Before answering "ultramon", let me explain :)

Platform is Vista 64 with an nVidia 7600GT. Setup: two displays attached via DVI cables, and a standard definition TV attached via s-video.

Now, this card has a limitation that only any _two_ of the three displays can be active at a time. That's fine, but the trouble is that whenever I change from one pair of displays to another, Windows loses the arrangement of the monitors. By arrangement, I mean the setup defined in Display Settings. I want the secondary monitor to be to the left of the primary, but if I enable and then disable the TV, the secondary monitor ends up to the right of the primary and I have to reset it manually.

Is there any easy way to fix this problem? Would ultramon do it? I tried ultramon in the past, but it didn't support this functionality at that time, and I didn't really want to try a beta version since this is also my primary work machine.

Thanks for any tips!

Edit: Ultramon has a "display profiles" feature, but the trouble is that in this case, the third display is not merely "disabled," it simply "disappears". There is no indication that it's attached at all. The nVidia control panel removes the third display completely.
