Forums -> Multiple monitors -> how to keep dialog boxes on their parent monitor?
sd   2007-06-18 18:26
I have 2 monitors with expanded desktop.
If I run any app (for instance Excel) on monitor 2, every dialog box that opens(search box, file open,...) will popup on monitor 1! So I sometimes wait stupidly in front on monitor 2, having not seen the dialog...
Worst: If I drag the dialog box to monitor 2, next time it will popup on monitor 2 (great) but just for 1 second, and then appears on monitor 1 (ouch!).
Why the hell?
Is there a way to stick the dialogs on the app monitor?

You didn't tell us what video card and drivers you are using. Some video card drivers (actually video card utilities) have a setting to keep pop-ups on the same screen as the app.
