Is it possible to get a game to run full screen on a secondary monitor or tertiary monitor if you have multiple displays? I've been trying to get shogun total war to play just on my middle screen, and was somehow able to get it working once by some combination of window mode, full screen, and setting the middle monitor to primary but it didn't work when I next launched it and the game appeared on my leftmost screen.
Is there some easy/ sure way of telling games what monitor to run on or will I have to do this trial and error approach each time? This is using an AMD 5770 if that makes a difference.

DId you try disabling eyefinity before you started the game?

yes eyefinity group is disabled. I found single 5770 isn't fast enough to crank graphics all the way for 3 x 1920 x 1080 displays in the newer games.
