I'd leave just the main option enabled for now, and enable the other two if you want to tweak the behaviour further. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/log-in-pops-up-on-different-screen-than-program/?ID=7d508b2f-96a1-4ed9-afcb-0faa003c9dbf#3 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 18:55:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/log-in-pops-up-on-different-screen-than-program/?ID=7d508b2f-96a1-4ed9-afcb-0faa003c9dbf#3 DisplayFusion So glad it's an easy one! I've set that option. What about the two sub-options? Should I check either of them (modal windows or move child windows)? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/log-in-pops-up-on-different-screen-than-program/?ID=7d508b2f-96a1-4ed9-afcb-0faa003c9dbf#2 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 18:51:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/log-in-pops-up-on-different-screen-than-program/?ID=7d508b2f-96a1-4ed9-afcb-0faa003c9dbf#2 DisplayFusion The "Centre child windows over parent window" option on the Settings > Window Management tab should do the trick

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/log-in-pops-up-on-different-screen-than-program/?ID=7d508b2f-96a1-4ed9-afcb-0faa003c9dbf Sat, 18 Feb 2017 15:56:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/log-in-pops-up-on-different-screen-than-program/?ID=7d508b2f-96a1-4ed9-afcb-0faa003c9dbf DisplayFusion Is there a setting that will prevent this from happening?

I will launch a program, see the splash screen, then sit and wait for the log-in for that program to appear. Finally it will dawn on me that the log-in has popped up behind another window on the second screen. As long as I remember that that is what happens sometimes (not always) I'm okay. But when I don't remember, I can sit there lost in thought for minutes, waiting.

Any way to assure all parts of a program launch on the same screen?

I have the start icon for program in question locked on taskbar 1, which is the screen I want the program and is the screen where I always run the program. I don't have any control commands set for it. I'm using Pro 8.1.2.

Thanks! ]]>
