Problem moving Palettes in PSCS

Just upgraded from PS7 to CS [Win 2k] and loving it! However, an annoying little quirk seems to be that I cannot move any of my palettes around in the work area unless I first select the arrow [move tool], click within an open document and then drag my chosen palette to it’s new location. I can only do this with a document open, too. If I have no document open or just File Browser open, my palettes are unmoveable. Is there a preference setting somewhere that I am missing…I have searched through and also tried the help files, but to no avail. Is anyone else having a similar problem?

I have Photoshop 4.0.1 on XP with 2 monitors (matrox550 card, 1g ram, 2.6 p4)

My question is I can move the photoshop window and working picture onto screen 2 but none of the pallets. (Painter 5.5 has similar prob) The only advice I can get is that if its a MS DOS prog then it cannot utilise the two screens.

Because PS4 is a Win 95 program and the fact half of it does display over two screens I’m trying to confirm that this is a problem only corrected by an upgrade to XP compatable software?

please tell me there is a patch or something!
Cheers, Ed.

Dax you should be able to drag, dock – do whatever with your mouse regardless of a document being open or tool selected. The regular white mouse arrow still does all the work in CS.

Try Window>Workspace>Reset and see if that does anything for you.
