Stuff to do with 2 monitors

iviv · 29 Sep 2008 at 10:28

My new one now has pride of place, overshadowing my older one, but I want to keep that there for watching things like people signing into MSN and messaging me while I'm gaming. Though if I'm gaming fullscreen on the newer one, things like MSN popups will still appear on that desktop won't they?
Is there any way to make them appear on the second desktop?

Unless you're really into your webcam, use pidgin instead. I'm sure you'll be able to work around the popup issue that way.

I prefer the official version though. Coupled with Plus for additional features and apatch to remove all the useless junk it works great.

Aldo, monitor drivers. Is there any point in installing them, as windows picked it up fine. Or do they allow extra features or something. The CD lso has 'Natural Color' and 'Magic Tune', are these worth installing/running?

I've never bothered with drivers/utilities for any monitor. I find the graphics drivers themselves have good enough utilities for monitor setup.

Pidgin > all that crap tbh.

Nothing, I turn all my other monitors off, unless you are actually doing work that needs it it just seemed like a gimmick to me (Well I did before I got SLI, now I cant use them even if I wanted to ._.)
