Docking my laptop inhibits checkpoints from correctly functioning.

I am testing a desktop java application on a laptop. My company has provided me with a docking station so I can easily use a second monitor, keyboard and mouse.

 

Creating checkpoints and keyword tests acts 100% normal, but upon playback checkpoints created in windows don't work because "an unexpected window has appeared". However, that unexpected window is the actual window I'm trying to check. Turning on the "Ignore unexpected window" property then makes an error of "Invisible window" or something of that nature. In either case, my test just freezes and crashes.

 

Has anyone seen this as an issue? Is there something I can do to perhaps just ignore one screen?

    Does the test run properly if you run it with your laptop undocked?

      I tried to type out an answer and it sounded so confusing so maybe this will work better:

       

      Test created with dock and ran with dock - No.

      Test created with dock and ran without dock - No.

      Test created without dock and ran with dock - No.

      Test created without dock and ran without dock - Yes.

        That's fine, lol.   

         

        I run with my laptop docked (but closed) and see everything on the big monitor.  Does that work for you?  I'm just trying to eliminate things here.
