Hello,

I do have this problem also very often with my old XP notebook and a second
monitor at home but none at the observatory.

My early solution was to move all popup windows to the notebooks built in monitor
"before" disconnecting the second monitor. If I forgot one I couldn't see it.

But once I tried to disable the second monitor completely in the system control
panel (right click on an empty place on the desktop (WIN XP)) this also does the
trick.
