Dual Monitor Question

I've set up a 24" as my primary monitor with digital out & a 19" as my secondary with analog output.

Display all works fine but i've a question. Lets say i've opened firefox & moved it to my secondary monitor & now i open a game & play on my 1st monitor, I am not able to move my mouse to the secondary monitor so i can browse while the game is still on.

I can do Alt-tab which case the game minimizes & the mouse goes to firefox. Is it possible to set it up without using alt-tab?

I've a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE if that helps.

thanks
 
that is a normal thing in all Dual mon setup

it is not a bug, or anything like that

when you go into full screen DX games, it takes control of your mouse and keyboard, and it wont let it go out

it is an optional feature that can be turned on and off by the programmers

and as you found out, this only affect games played in full screen mode, when you play games in windows mode, it shares the windows controls so it doesn;t take ownership of your keyb/mouse
