I got two monitors. When I work with Photoshop, tool-popups will open where I last left them (I choose monitor depending on what I’m going to work with in PS). So if I used monitor.1 yesterday and worked with the color popup there, it will open in monitor.1 even if I’m working with photoshop in monitor.2 today.

And some popups (like the save-window) will always pop up in monitor.1.

If that was a poor explanation, read this:

It’s pretty much the same problem as mine.

So how do I fix so all popups always open in the same window as Photoshop is in?  
Please help!

you could try resetting your palette’s by saving a custom workspace. So if you mess around with your palette’s, windows etc… you can always revert back to this ‘starting’ point custom saved layout. This i assume would reset ‘popup’ windows positioning as well. If it does not you might be able to force the application on one monitor via a nvidia desktop manager (nview) if you have a nvidia card with the latest forceware drivers or maybe try another multi-monitor app like ultramon
