I have dual monitors. The primary
monitor is calibrated and on an AGP
video card. The 2nd monitor which
is basically just for my palettes
and such, is on a PCI card. When I
open a RAW image in PS the interface
shows up on the 2nd monitor. It
won’t display on the primary monitor
if the 2nd monitor is on. I deleted
prefs file, fired it up with 2nd
monitor unplugged and RAW comes on
the main monitor but if I plug the
2nd monitor back in RAW gets drawn
back to it like a magnet. Everything
else seems to run fine. OS:Win2K.
Any thoughts?

Pallets and windows normally come up at the place you left them last time. Drag it to the first monitor, click "OK" and quit Photoshop. Next time it *should* come up on the first monitor.

To clarify…

The Photoshop Raw "Plug-in" will NOT
display on the primary monitor
when the 2nd monitor is plugged in.
If I drag it, it disappears off the
edge of the screen. It behaves as if
the primary monitor doesn’t exist,
yet Photoshop itself displays fine
all the while on the main monitor.
