Run:
mame -v gamename|find /i "video:"

Exit the game
Note the the primary monitor's \\.\DISPLAYxx number

In your mame.ini change:
screen0   Auto
to:
screen0   \\.\DISPLAYxx


Although, if it's not already doing that, you probably have something else going on. The games that are giving you trouble - are they single-screen games?

note to others that may find this post, DISPLAY needs to be capatilized
