Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

well, I recently plugged in a second monitor for my computer, and the first thing I wanted to do was to try and play a game on one, and do some other random shit on the other. well, the game i happened to be playing was on full screen, and clicking onto the second monitor would cause the game to minimize.

I was wondering if anyone else has had these kind of problems, or knows anyway to fix it. Ideally, I would want to make the second monitor a desktop of its own, but i'm not sure how to do that.

hell, this isn't a computer troubles site, but whenever i have problems, i turn to newgrounds for support.

wow.

Just smack is around a little. It worked for my camera.

God-dammit. IT, not is.

Youll probably need some type of program that will asign graphics to the seperate screen. I wouldnt count on it being too easy with full screen programs like games. Itll work with windows though if you syncronise them. Good idea though!

While we're on the topic, can somebody tell me how the hell that works out without actually having a 2nd computer?

I can have up to 4 monitors plugged in. Each video card of mine has 2 inputs, and I have 2 video cards. There's an option in the "personalize" menu saying "extend desktop onto second monitor".

You can usually change the settings so that the game plays in a window instead of full screen.
