And so your old secondary monitor was old, and happened to support the full-screen resolution you were using. Switching back may work, but maybe not if you also loaded a new video driver - unless you can find the exact older one you used before the monitor swap.

"Modern" hardware and software for windows - drivers, monitors, video cards etcetera often have no inbuilt support for "long gone and unneeded by modern consumer" modes like 4:3 resolution, or smaller full-screen modes, perhaps not even supporting 1280x, let alone 800 and 640 seems to have disappeared in a puff of indifference 10-15 years back.

Don't use full-screen mode, use windowed mode. Or, if you insist on full-screen mode then find yourself the right combination of obsolescent video kit that still supports it. We do not support full-screen mode, but its still in there for historical reasons but only for the very few who still have obsolescent video kit that "knows" about stone-age windows graphics modes.
