Dual monitor programs

[Jon33]

Using Ultramon atm and it doesn't really seem to do what I want it to do, is their any others about?

At the moment if I'm playing a game and it allows me to move to the other screen (sometimes it doesn't without alt tabbing) and I click on something on the other screen it minimises the game therefore defeating the point of me using two screens. Is their a program that will allow me to just have the two screens independent of each other?

Not that I've found. Most games are based on DirectX and as such only support the main monitor for games. I'm not sure if using Vista + DX10 mode in games remove this problem.

Ah that sucks, wanted to use the TV to stick msn/web browser on for if I'm playing games, kinda pointless if I have to minimise the game anyhow =/

its really a limitation of windows rather than Ultramon. if you run your game in a window it won't minimise (but will probably freeze...)

Yeah could do that for some games, but wc3 for example I use the sdes of the screen to scroll so would be an issue
