Quick Dual Screen question

SamR · 14 Jan 2009 at 11:42

Just set up two screens for the first time. The larger one using a GeForce GTX 260, and the older smaller one on a GeForce 6600GT.

I'm trying to launch Fallout 3 on the main larger monitor, which it does, but once it's up and running I am unable to mouse over to the second monitor. Is this some easy option to change?

Hope this is in the correct forum!

Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure you can only move the mouse to the other monitor if you tab out.

If a full screen application has focus, you can't move onto the second monitor.

Could you run fall out 3 in a maxmised window? Guessing thats not really ideal but might allow you todo what you want?

Been sometime since I played around with me dual screen setup.

Booo, that's a shame.

Sort of works

still have to press alt tab, but at least Fallout stays maximised while mess around on the other screen!

Thanks for help

Most games are one screen focused and have to exit or tab out to move onto another screen =]
