I am in the process of teaching myself DirectX development while going through all the tutorials on http://directxtutorial.com/. I have run into a problem that I believe is related to me having multiple monitors.
My display is 1920 x 1080. When my code runs in its current state my primary monitor becomes black with the cursor in the middle. When I set my SCREEN defines at the top of my code to 1920 x 1080 my program runs fine and displays my sprite with the navy background. When I leave the SCREEN defines as 1440 x 900 and disable my second monitor my program runs fine. This is what leads me to believe there is some issue with my second monitor hosing up things.
Any help would be appreciated!
Below is my current code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <windowsx.h>
#include <d3d9.h>
