Photoshop on Extended Display (2 monitors) but shows on both

So I got another monitor and have my laptop plugged into it. Using Windows 7 and set it up as an extended display.

I dragged Photoshop over to the monitor (not my laptop). Shows fine, but when I create a new document, or layer, or save the dialog box pops up on my lap top.

whats the deal guys?!

 

Hi, I have this exact same issue when connecting an additional display. What I do is....say I open the "FX (or blending options)" box and it comes up on the wrong screen, I would then go to the other screen and drag the dialogue box over to the correct display, the next time that you open the SAME panel it should open on the correct display. This is what I have had to do with each different box that comes up in PS and other programs....though I am not sure exactly why this happens, I hope that I have provided at least a little insight.

 

Hey mang. The Extended Display is exactly that. An extension of the desktop. Dragging something into the second display will keep it there. Dragging it over is basically telling your computer that that's the display you want that window to appear on, other wise it wouldn't know which to display it on. Once you have dragged it on to one screen, it should be on that screen the next time you get that same window.

 

You need to set your external display as the Primary monitor and restart Photoshop. Further windows should then be created on that monitor.
