Dialog Boxes Gone Nuts!
-
Try Window → Preferences → Workspace → Reset workspace. Does that help?
-
I tried that ... it didn't help.
-
Doesn't anyone know about this problem??
-
I've never heard of that center dialog box on display option. Maybe its a system option, but I don't think its part of SU.
Try opening SU. Then open the dialog windows how you want them. Then close SU. Then open SU again and see if they held their place. It typically works fine for me and I'm on a 2 monitor system as well. So try that, if it does not wrok, report back here. We'll try something else.

Thanks Chris! Since I posted, I successfully retrieved my dialog boxes. I did this by going in Display Properties and temporarily reversing my 2 monitors -- "there they are!" -- and moved them onto the other monitor. (I'm on Windows 7.)
However I have another major problem. Since "upgrading" from XP to 7 (those quotes around upgrading have an angry complaint attached), my system will not run SU without molasses-slow response time.

Have you played with the graphics settings in SU? Try playing with the OpenGL settings in the preferences window. Those can slow down SU if they are set poorly for your video card.

Hardware acceleration is greyed out.
Max texture gives a warning - I haven't tried.
Fast feedback does not seem to make a difference whether it is checked or not.
Those are the only choices in Preferences>OpenGL. -
Chris, do you always wear a bowler when you surf??

With no hardware acceleration, everything is computed on the CPU which explains the slowness.
After upgrading to Windows 7, did you download and install the (new) graphics driver for your graphics hardware? That's the usual (minimum) thing one needs to do to get Windows have hardware acceleration.
Then of course hardware acceleration could be disabled on system level (somewhere in the graphics driver settings in system control center). -
I updated my graphics driver. SU is maybe a wee bit faster, but not easy.
No, let me change that. I rechecked Preferences and now I can choose Hardware Acceleration. I checked it and restarted SU. Yes!! Now it works great.
Thank you!
