I've just set up a dual screen, but when I play games on my main screen the 2nd moves when the 1st screen changes to 3d mode. Is there anyway to lock the 2nd display so screen dont alter when I run a game? See sig for sys. Im also using Ultramon. Oh yeh Im using a 20" 1680x1050 and a 19" 1280x1024.

I use my right hand screen as primary, then when i run a full screen app, no matter the resolution it doesnt change the left hand screen! i used to have this the other way round and had the same problem but this seems to fix it, dunno if your happy to do the same but works for me 
I would assume your not playing the games at the native reolution of your main monitor then, so it has to change your resolution, causing the shift. Try chaning the game res and see what happens.
edit: possibly playing the game in the secondard monitors resolution would work, as it should then not need to change that one (assuming it is resizing both monitors reolutions to the games res for fullscreen)

Yeh that works, I run most games in 1440x900 cos for some reason most games are slightly jerky at 1680x1050. I dont know why its jerky in its native res cos fron 1440x900 to 1680x1050 isnt much of a jump is it??
Oh yeh can you get the taskbar tray on the 2nd screen, so it looks more like 1 very wide screen?
