Well, if it helps any, this is not a Vista related issue, as I have what appears to be the same problem with the Java client of a PDM system (big parts/drawing database for my company) in Windows XP Pro, where if I run the application in single screen mode or undocked, it works fine. However running the application in dual-screen mode, I get the application on the primary display, and a magnified (to varying degrees) and letterboxed copy on the secondary screen, and as soon as I create an event (open a record or start a search) in the Java application, it causes a physical memory dump (the veritable blue screen of death) pointed at the Nvidia driver... While I would normally jump to point the finger at the Java application, I think in this case it is indeed the driver not liking Java apps, as the Java Control Panel even does the same thing.
Originally, I had the same issue where the machine would power down if I hot-docked it with the Java application running or having been run since last reboot. Since the latest Java update (JRE1.6.2), this has manifested itself as first described. My workaround is to simply boot in single screen mode, run the application, then switch to dual screen mode and everything is fine. I got a tip to try deleting all the docked hardware profiles, and let a fresh one be recreated, but no dice... Best of luck to all in resolving this one - I will post again if I find anything useful...
