Dual Displays -- Losing one monitor when starting game!!

[RussDogg]

Hello, I recently went to dual monitors!! I have encountered a problem when I start a game, my second monitor shuts off? When I quit the game, it comes back on. How can I fix this?

Which game is this on? There are very few (if any) games out there that support dual display.

Dual Display is especially useful in the Windows Desktop.

any game, MOHAA, Quake III, Max Payne, ect.

If you read the Read Me files for most, if not all games, they always recomend that you disable secondary displays. You will almost always lose use of secondary displays when you launch a game. It's just the way that it is.

HTH.

The only way this won't happen is if the game lets you play in windowed mode.

I run dual monitors, and whenever I start a game, the one monitor (not running the game), stays on, but I cannot use it!

It shows the desktop, and any icons I have on it, however I just cannot get to it (Obviously that would not be a good thing while running a 3d/CPU/GPU intensive task)
