I have recently upgraded from a Wacom Intuous 3 tablet to a Cintiq 12wx. I’m running Vista, and screens in extended mode.
My problems is this: When working on the Cintiq, and opening lets say the black and white conversion menu, I can not find it, because it pops up on the main screen, not the cintiq. This goes for almost all sub programmes. And it very annoying, as I sit and wait, thinking my computer has gotten very slow only to see that has appeared on the main screen. So what I want is to restrain all of photoshop and sup programmes with in one screen. I guess I could run the screens in clone mode but sometimes I want to be able to use the main screen for other stuff at the same time as I am using the cintiq. And sometimes I want to be able to have the cintiq on my lap working from the sofa, not having to watch the main screen of the computer. I am sorry if I have over complicated my explanations, but I hope someone can see the essence of my problem, restrain photoshop within one screen.

Thank you very much for taking your time to read this.

Regards

Fredrik, Norway.

There are programs that are supposed to re-pop things up on the monitor of your choice. However, they have to run in memory and I have found that they cause as many problems as they fix. Instead simply drag the dialog boxes to the monitor you want and the next time they come up they should open on that monitor. Two things to keep in mind, this assumes that the make of the software followed coding standards (not all do) and if you should ever unhook the second monitor you will find that you will have lost the dialog boxes because they are still opening on a monitor that is now not in use. Just keep that in mind.
