Photoshop :: How To Always Have Popup Windows Appear On Same Screen As CS5
Mar 13, 2012
I have 3 displays connected to my computer, 1 of which is a tablet screen I don't use all the time. (It gets disabled and put away when I turn on SLI for video gaming, or if I just dont need to draw anything at the moment) If I'm drawing something, I'll drag photoshop over to that 3rd screen and do my work. Later, if I want to just crop or resize an image or do simple image manip stuff, I'll drag the window back over to one of my other two screens. The problem I'm facing is that popup dialogs like the open file, save as, preferences; any new window that photoshop opens, appears on whatever monitor it did last time.
Is there a way to force photoshop to always show those windows centered or at least on the same screen the rest of the program is working on? I've been searching for a while and the closest thing I found was a setting called 'Remember Palette Locations', but it looks like that setting was removed in CS5.
I'm willing to change preferences, run some kind of reset script any time photoshop starts, or whatever, just something that will bring those new windows onto the screen I'm working on instead of where they last were. I sat perplexed for about 1 minute when I saved a picture as PNG. Went to upload it and.. ohp! it hasn't changed! Oh! There is an interlace option dialog is showing on a screen thats TURNED OFF.
Computer info:
2x 24" DELL Monitors (main screens)
1x 19" Yiynova Tablet Dispay (used only when drawing)
2x Nvidia GTX 560Ti Graphics Cards
Windows 7 64bit

As of recently, all popup windows in Photoshop (i.e. colour picker, layer styles etc) appear in the middle of my monitor and cover the canvas i'm working on.
In the past, I would move this window over to the side and next time i open it, it would open in the last position.
This is no longer the case. Everytime it opens right in the center of the screen covering my artwork.
The same goes for layer styles. e.g. Stroke.
First the Layer Styles popup will cover my work.. i'll move it to one side
Then when I want to colour the stroke, the colour picker appears in the middle so I have to move this too.
I probably waste about an hour of my day just moving these popups out of the way.
The only thing I can think of is the fact that i've recently updated my graphics card driver (ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series) In Catalyst Control Centre, I hav ticked the option to keep dialogue windows in the correct place but this doesn't apply to the in-application popups.

The advanced color popup is off my monitor and nothing I have tried will bring it back. Without access can't select any colors accept the default palette. When I select Advanced the popup is not visible. Just get a ding if I try to click anywhere. Pressing return apparently closes popup so I can proceed.
I have three monitors. Have tried making window small and positioning it on the various monitors. Have tried a Repair Installation. Don't have disks for a complete reinstall because product was a downloaded buy.

I am having an issue with Adobe products on my Mac. When I try to auto export )or save as in LR, the popup screen opens and then closes right away without me being able to update anything. I have also experienced this with the PS application. I am currently unable to export my catalog as a result.

The bottom of the window goes off screen so i cannot resize it by clicking and dragging the lower right corner. Also in Navigator I can see that I should be seeing more image as indicated by the red outline. I have tried resetting Essentials, tried opening Photoshop while pressing Option / Alt shift, and nothing seems to work.

When I open "Image>Image size" for example, the dialogue window that opens appear half way off-screen, and I can't access it. The only way for me to close it is to use the Esc button.
Every time I open one of theese windows, they wander off a couple of pixels, until they can't be reached. Sure, I can try to reset their position manually each time I use them, but that's not how it's supposed to be.
I need a way to reset all windows positions. The workspace options doesn't seem to include the dialogue windows, so that's no use.

After making the move to Windows 7 a few months ago everything went fine regarding my tablet. Then a month later the driver died, i installed a newer version of the tablet for W7 and since then ive been having nightmares regarding the touch functionality of the tablet.
As of a week or two ago, the pen functionality has started dieing too. Im almost certain that what ever problems im having is not related to the tablet itself but my machine.When photoshop is not the active window, my pen can control the cursor to any position on the screen, however once photoshop is the active window, i can only control the upper left corner of the monitor. Ive tested it on a few apps and the same is happening on Fireworks, After Effects.
[URL] << shows the area in which i can move to
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
I have the latest patch for Photoshop CS4 (11.0.1).
Have the latest patch for my tablet (5.2.1-6) - Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch.

I am experiencing suddenly an odd behavior with Photoshop CS5.Everytime I open a new window in photoshop the window goes outside my screen.I have to go each time to the system preferences on my mac and switch for a second to another screen resolution to bring back the window to my screen.I have found out that when I disable OpenGL in Photoshop the problem goes away. But still, I want to use OpenGL.

The smaller windows that come up such as those for adjusting the levels, brightness/contrast, etc. moved little by little each time I used them, but I never paid attention until my Levels window moved so far up when it opens to its default location that I can't get to the top of it to move it anywhere. This has happened to a couple other windows for me, and I can't figure out how to fix it! I tried resetting the workspace, changing resolutions back and forth, restarting.

I was wondering why screen captures in Windows look so bad when resized smaller in PS (or other image apps). I'm trying to create a user guide and the images are fine when pasted into PS but look blurred when I use the transform tool to reduce their size (or resize image). I thought images got more defined when smaller?!
Side question: why does the arial font in Windows apps like outlook, office etc not look the same when typed in PS?

I have VideoStudio Pro X5 ultimate. Build # 15.1.0.34 I have upgraded my operating system from Windows 7 to windows 8. On windows 7, Screen Capture worked just fine. On windows 8 it does not operate. I get a message as follows: “VSSCap. Prepare Record Failed!!! #42” How can I get Screen Capture to work on my Windows 8 system? All other functions of VideoStudio Pro X5 seem to work OK. I tried to submit a question to Corel as to what this Error code means and how to correct the problem but they say "NO TECKS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION" And just log me out?
What "Prepare Record Failed!!! #42" means and or how to correct it? It seems to me that if Corel gives you an error message then they should support that error but they do not! Why don't they? They say that Windows 8 and VideoStudio Pro X5 Ultimate are completely compatible then why am I getting this message. Corel really should support it's message errors and not let its customers struggle for an answer? I love VideoStudio Pro X5 Ultimate and try as I may I cannot solve this problem.

I've used PSP for many years and used the screen capture many a time. But I can't get it working fully on Windows 7 x64. I usually have it configured to use F10 to start the capture of an area. It was working a bit (but never with IE8) about 30 minutes ago but just isn't working at all now.

Did you get the driver from nvidia's Web site? Check for firmware anddriver updates first.Yes a bad move :P but i need to use some software that's not compatible with linux.
An obvious 'solution' is to install Linux as a VM under Virtualbox.

After an AutoCAD/Windows crash, I reboot. The system begins to load Windows (Win 7 splash), then the screen goes blank and a white Windows cursor appears -- nothing more; no desktop or taskbar.
Control-Alt-Del does nothing, however, the HDD light continues to flash as if it is continuing to boot. The same thing happens when I boot in Safe Mode (except cursor is larger due to different resolution).
I can boot from bootable CD and everything works fine. HDD scan and memtest both pass. I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and AutoCAD and everything works fine. However, two days later, the same exact problem occurred on the second of five workstations.
Details:
Win 7 Professional 64bit
MS Office Home and Business (with Outlook configured for IMAP)
i7 processor, 6GB ECC RAM, Nvidia Quadro 600 w/1GB RAM.
AutoCAD 2013 was originally loaded from a trial version, then purchased license key installed.We are using Xref on a file server and opening drawing on a file server across a ethernet Gbit lan.

I can't figure out how to customize popup menus. In particular, if I right-click a layer in the layer panel a huge list opens, there are far too many items that inhibit my workflow. All I want to do is hide some of them.
These are some I'd like to hide:
No Color
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
Gray
Postcard
New 3D Extrusion From Selected Layer
New 3D Extrusion
I hope this is not impossible.

I have found that with windows 7 64 bit (not sure about other versions) when inventor 2012 pro is installed, it causes windows safe mode to reboot at logon screen after like 3-4 seconds. I have found the cause to be a window service that it inventor installs called "Autodesk Moldflow Inventor Tool Suite Integration 2012 Job Manager". I disable this service via "msconfig" tool and windows safe mode works ok.

I am currently running the new creative suite 6. Everything works perfectly fine but when I am in Photoshop trying to open my layer styles it will not pop up...but I know it's there because the hand shows up and I can't click anything else until I click enter which would mean im done in the layer styles.
I restarted my computer/re-installed Photoshop / downloaded the update...still doesn't work but it once did.

I keep getting an error pop-up that the ElementsOrganizerSync - No Disk. I doesnt go away, when I tell it to close it pops right back open. It started when I deleted some Actions I'd added to my library. Also, Actions that I've added recently are not showing up even though I've added them correctly. I plan to upgarde to version 11 but it has to wait a few more weeks.

I can no longer 'apply a tint (one of the effects is the editor) to a photo.When I select one and click APPLY, I get a popup window that says:
Plus members get online services, artwork and movie themes....Please sign in to upgrade to Plus.
Well, I use to be able to use this feature and never got that window before.
DO I NOW HAVE TO PURCHASE A PLUS application to supplement my PSE8?
Also, when I try to sign in with the same Adobe ID that I use to get into this forum, I get another popup window that says:
Photoshop.com services are currently unavailable. Please try again later or check your network connection. Error 400.
I thought my password might be wrong, so I also used the 1st popup window to request that it be sent to me... and I got a message that says:An email has been sent to you .... but I never get the email.
