view image inside max displays on wrong monitor

[stevesideas]

This is an annoying problem. I have 3 monitors connected to my GFX card. 2 are used for 3dsmax and material editor etc. The other is a HDMI connection to a TV. I sometimes watch blu ray through the PC but other times I watch normal TV.

The problem is when I view an image using 3dsmax or if I render a UVW unwrap template it appears on the TV monitor and I have to change back to my computer to drag it back to one of the other screens. It keeps doing this no matter what I do. Does anyone know how to resolve this and keep the previews etc on one of the other screens ?

I think u can press alt space > keyboard click move/ click arrow and just move ur mouse to ur screen with window attached to it... I fix this way my maya ui bugs... could work for u too maybe...

I think I already tried this. It does actually get the window onto the main monitor but I'm just wondering why the preview always keeps opening up on the 3rd monitor. If there was a way to designate a monitor or a position across the three screens, it would be good.

Well, it seems I've just resolved the issue. Rendering out the UVW unwrap template and then moving the window onto the main monitor seems to have reset it. After all this time and that was the bloomin' issue ! Ah well
