Hi,
I have CorelDraw X3 installed on my laptop, which I use at home and in the office. My laptop has dual-monitor support.
In the office, CorelDraw goes on the nice, big external monitor. When you use CorelDraw with a dual-monitor set-up, it remembers the positions of all dialog boxes. Most programs do this, but CorelDraw is a bit too good at it... When I switch of the external monitor, take my laptop home, and start CorelDraw, there is a problem. ALL dialog boxes that last opened on the external monitor are invisible in the single-monitor set-up.Actually, they are projected into the external workspace, which doesn't exist anymore (don't ask me why). Inconveniently, they also block everything else, unless you turn them off with the escape key.In PhotoPaint, you can turn this of (Options > Workspace > General > disable 'Keep dialog position'). I don't see anything similar in CorelDraw.
What can I do?Rik
Hey,
This is happening to me too. I can not change the outline color without the dialog box showing up. I've even re-installed my copy of Draw and it still thinks there is a secondary monitor. It's driving me bananas.

Thanks Val! That'll save me from having to re-install the whole thing. (Why didn't I find out about this site earlier... )
I assume your answer implies that there is no simple way to turn off the position memory of the dialogs?
Hi Vik !
I think val's solution is one of fastest solution. Working with two different workspace for two different monitor.
