Trados dialogs don't work as they should when using mulitple screens

I work with SDL 2011 on a Windows 7 system using multiple screens (you know the way, with my browser on one screen and my Trados on another to stop having to toggle between programs every 20 seconds).

If I'm on a late night and have to bring work home with me I don't bring my extra screen home with me.

But if I happen to have opened the search dialog (for example -- it could be any dialog) earlier in the day on the now absent extra screen, then it is painted up again on the imaginary screen, where there is now no way I can get at it.

Something similar occurs when using Trados Workbench 2007, which I sometimes have to use due to a bug when I want to convert Winalign projects into something that Trados 2011 can digest.

If I'm not careful the Workbench opens normally, but is painted up onto a now non-existent screen, rendering the whole program useless until I get back to my work desk.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem.

TIA
