Dual Monitor Menu Problem

I have W2K setup for dual monitor with a Matrox G550 video card. Everything works fine except for some menus in office. If you drag word or excel to the second monitor, choose open file, then click on the "Look In" pulldown arrow, the pull down menu appears on the first monitor. It's more of a nuisance than anything else but is there a fix for this?

I'd like the answer too. It can be a real pain with xwindows turned on.

If you have more than one monitor installed I believe that the primary monitor is the only monitor that you can perform commands in. the second monitor cannot perform actions, it's kinda just there to view files or hold documents while you work on something else. I'm not sure if there is a fix for this, but that is what I was told when it comes to multiple monitors
