since installing SP3 my photoshop is not able to properly refresh when using dual monitors. I have a Dell m90, laptop with a nvidia quadro 2500m video card. I have a 23 inch Cinema Display attached to the DVI port. 3gigs RAM. I have updated my nVidia drivers hoping it would help, but no good.

In photoshop if I activate a layer to be transformed the edit bounding box does not display. If I move the document window the bounding box appears. This type of behavior is happening with many tools, it seems to be a realtime refresh problem. If I move a document window to the second monitor it displays only the window frame and no contents ( the main reason for having dual monitors).
I tried to change the refresh rate on the monitors but no good.

If I remove the second monitor and just use the laptop display I have no problems.

Any help is appreciated
