Hey, Could someone please tell me how i can make it so eyefinity only works for games. Then when im not in a game its the standard "Extend desktop" across the 3 monitors. I read about having Hotkeys but i don't understand how i make them.

Thanks. :)
 
Couple of things to try:
Press Windows and P together, select "Extended" and use CCC to set your screens the right way round for 3 individual screens.
Now press Windows and P and select "Duplicated". Now use CCC to setup your screens into your Eyefinity merged setup.
You should now be able to use Windows and P to merge your screens to game, then use the same key combo to put it back to separate screens after you've finished gaming.

If that doesn't work, use CCC to setup your merged Eyefinity configuration. Now, in CCC add a Preset called something memorable. Now disable your Eyefinity config and set your screens to as separate ones, then Add another Preset called something else. Now you can switch between the two setups by selecting the Preset before and after games. I have CCC pinned to the taskbar and just right click the icon and select the Preset to switch them. For some reason, I need to select the Preset twice to get everything the right way round but it does work.
 
when i had eyefinity used ccc profiles but even then sometimes it had a mind of its own and every now and then would scramble my profile settings
 
I just click CCC systray icon when done with the game, then dissable eyefinity group.

A widget would be better but not to bad.
 
I also just disable Eyefinity in CCC when I want just an extended desktop, and then if I want just one monitor on or three, its the windows key and P to choose extended or single monitor, it takes seconds really.
 
I keep everything on the centre screen of the eyefinity group (its one of the settings I came across setting it up). I turn the other (outer) two off if I need to and just turn them on for gaming.
