windows 8 - Dialog boxes appear on wrong screen after standby

    I have 2 monitors. The right one is my largest, primary monitor. I have a smaller, secondary monitor to the left.

    Normally, dialog boxes appear on the same monitor as the application that spawns them is on. However, after my PC has woken up from standby (S3), many dialog boxes appear in the top left corner of my left screen instead. This is very annoying.

    What causes this and how can I fix it?

    I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit. I'm using DisplayFusion too.

    windows 7 - HDD vanished after wakeup from standby
  • Sam

    In my computer I got two hard drives:
    One 80GB Intel X25 Postville SSD for the system and a 1,5TB Sata HDD for data.

    When I put the system into standby, and wake it up again, roundabout 50% of the time the 1,5TB HDD is not found. It just vanished from the system (wreaking havok to all programs running which had open files on it).

    Even going into the system management and refreshing the drives does not find the lost HDD.

    There are no messages about this in the event log.

    After a warm reboot the hdd is found again, just like it should.

    The system is a Shuttle SP35P2 Pro with 8GB Ram and DualCore CPU, OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. I even set up the OS anew, didn't help.

    Any ideas what might cause this? How to debug, or maybe even fix it?
