Photoshop quirk - this shouldn't be so hard...

[drummerboy678]

Hey guys,
So I've been using Photoshop for a while now, but I'm having trouble with a very basic issue.

I disabled my dual monitor setup to have 1-flat screen and then a TV for a project about a month ago... When I opened Photoshop and created a new document, the window that normally pops up would be up on the TV, which was an inconvenience, but not hard to deal with.

I've since gone back to my dual monitor setup, but now that window doesn't pop up at all... if I hit 'enter' (which is like clicking "ok" when the window is open), it will work, but it's like the window is hidden "between" monitors or something.

I'm really at a loss, b/c about half the windows that I need (the layer options window, the color window, etc) just don't pop up... I've done 'reset pallete locations, but that doesn't do the trick. Anyone know of a solution to this without having to reinstall Photoshop? I don't have the CD here at school and I have storyboards to be done by the weekend.

Thanks in advance,
Taylor

You can try and reset your preference file setup. When you're starting Photoshop, hold down the CTRL - SHIFT - ALT keys at the same time and you'll get a dialog asking if you want to reset your preferences. Might do the trick.
