Hello all!!
I'm pretty new to dualview monitors and have a few questions.
Currently, I am using both viewsonic VX2025 and A90f+.
My primary monitor is VX2025.
And I have a Geforce 6800 GT. ( not sure if this will help but oh wells eh? :).)

Two Questions:

My first question is:
I was wondering if it's possible to run a game ( not high-end games but games such as Warcraft 3 ) and a video player ( such as Bsplayer ) at the same time.

Example:
Primary monitor: Game ( Fills up the screen )
Secondary monitor: Video Player

I tried but I notice how when I go back into the game, the video player switches over to my primary monitor, therefore not being able to see the video player on my secondary.
Any suggestions? :confused:

My second question is:
Hard to explain but this example is the general idea:
Primary Monitor: Game ( Fills up the screen )
Secondary Monitor: Instant Messenger Program

I was wondering, again, if it's possible to switch over to my Secondary monitor instead of continuously minimizing and maximizing ( Alt + Tab ) the Primary Monitor all the time to get to the Secondary Monitor.
Any hotkey? Any method so that instead of doing (Alt + Tab) all the time, I would just be able to switch over to the Secondary monitor?

I've spent hours, yet I could not come up with an answer. :(
And you should have guessed now that I'm very new at this,
so please if anyone has suggestions, feel free to reply.

Thank you for your time reading such long post! :)

Yes you can run a fullscreen game in the primary monitor and also watch video in the secondary monitor. Any program you put in the second monitor will update itself so putting things like voice programs and such to see who is talking is good.

If you're running the game fullscreen on the first monitor though clicking anywhere in the second monitor will minimize the game as it has lost focus. Only solution is to run the game in windowed mode.
