Photoshop dialog boxes are 'offscreen' after going from two monitors to one

[mike verzella]

sorry, its long... typically work from two monitors at once, and when i switch to one monitor (such as when working mobile on my laptop as opposed to having my lcd screen and a second crt at the office) anything that sat on the second monitor, such as a color setting prompt when i open an image, or a hue/saturation box - doesnt appear on the single monitor. it is as if it is 'off screen', but even when i up my display's resolution to get a larger desktop, reset my control panel for one monitor, or after saying 'reset pallets to their default locations' - i cannot get them back.

on my laptop its a minor inconvienience - i have to remember to move dialog boxes back to my primary monitor before i shut down. but on my home computer photoshop has been completely disabled. while moving recently, my second crt monitor was broken. i am down to one monitor on which certain boxes arnt showing up and i can't use the program. ive reinstalled, reinstalled again after removing photoshops registry settings, and i still cant get my boxes back. using latest program with patches.

what can i do?

(!--- anyone with this similar problem, i found the solution later in the FAQ's. reset your photoshop settings by holding ALT+SHIFT+CNTL as you begin loading photoshop. say 'yes' to reset the settings.

Mike,

Photoshop was supposed to force dialogs onto the screen. It doesn't (yet - we're hoping it will in v8).

In the meantime, see the FAQ called "Dialog Box Missing".

Peace,
Tony
