secondary monitor HALP!!!

[sammyt555]

Hey guys, im having trouble overloading my stimuli. I am currently streaming a baseball game on a secondary monitor to my right as i type this. I love what the 2nd monitor can do for me but...

there are a few issues.

1. When i tell the baseball streaming window to go to full screen on monitor 2, then launch a video game like oblivion, a full screen game, the 2nd monitor does not retain its settings.
The full screen video goes away and is replaced by a partial desktop of what is sitting underneath the picture on my 1st monitor. In other words, its like the screen on my 1st monitor
but different resolution and shifted over to the left like half the width of the screen.
2. If instead of telling the baseball streaming window to go full screen i leave it windowed, taking up only a small portion of my screen, and then launch a full screen video game,
the streaming picture goes black but i retain audio.
Note: IF i launch a windowed game like counter strike, i can retain a full screen display on my second monitor.
Is there anything i can do about my problems?

i would post my dxdiag but i dont see how to attach files here...

Sounds like video driver issues, and possibly the way DirectX works when playing a full-screen game. (It takes all the resources of the card when full-screen.)
