Topic: dual monitors full screen

I'm trying to make it so full screen programs can run on 1 monitor while my other monitor runs as usualy. Some programs, like full screen movies and Steam games run fine. But some other when in full screen mode black out the 2nd screen, no matter which screen I'm using.

Is there a way to control this?

Re: dual monitors full screen

If i put the game into a window my mouse moves off the game and into my other screen and when i click it clicks on a window and fucks my skillz up.

I don't have that problem with L4D2. My mouse is locked to the game screen unless the game is in a mode where the mouse shows(settings or chat or server browser).

I have my dual monitors configured in Windows and play on the monitor that has that task bar.

Re: dual monitors full screen

Some games work like that... and some games don't though like you said...

I think you are going to have a problem with each games config with dual screens....

It minimizes for me sometimes, but I just upgraded to 4GB ram, and it takes no more than 1 second to minimize L4D2, and 1 second to maximize it.

In deathmatch 2 seconds is long enough. Especially knife fighting.

i am saying with two monitors if my mouse goes into another screen and i click it messes my game up because it clicks a link instead of gaining me a head kill...

and you know that i do have the i7 and 12 gigs of ddr3 ... i can open photoshop / left4dead / other big programs up in less that 1 sec ... even if i was running all of them at the same time.

Bitch.

Re: dual monitors full screen

Doesn't matter if you have a quad core with HT for gaming really. Games are only starting to emerge with multicore rendering. Also 12GB DDR3 is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of. I mean shit, that's atleadt $500 in RAM... 8GB of it is never used.

12GB DDR3 isn't really retarded, running simulations or bigger server processes you're gonna need a fuck load of ram. For a normal home computer yeah its a fucking waste.

Well depends what games you play with multicore rendering, for instance Supreme Commander (3 year old game) had absolute perfect multicore rendering with a little tool to help.

Yes, and tests have shown it only gives a little performance boost. And that is only with the new Core i5/i7.

Also, Kossu I understand it helps with servers, and stuff like that, but he obviously isn't running one and is using 12GB for his e-peen
