I don't know how to explain?

So, I'm already having a few problems with my new Alienware laptop that cost a helluva lot!

Programs are open but I can't find them anywhere on the screen, if I try to minimize it from the taskbar and restore I still can't see it, but I see it zoom to the right side of the screen. Note: This is only with some programs.

Somehow for one of the programs (MSN) I noticied a tiny bit of it on the right hand of the screen and dragged it back into the middle, but I've checked the whole screen and can't find the other programs, I don't know how they're being moved, and how to get them back..

Hope you can help!

Thanks in advance!

Have you enabled an extended desktop to a 2nd monitor (with no screen attached!)?

Right-click on desktop, Properties then Settings Tab to check if you have an extended desktop - uncheck 'Extend Desktop to this monitor'.
