Just setup dual monitors

WeNeedToTalk · 02-12-2009, 04:35 PM

Ok so I've managed to get the monitors to show my full desktop and I can drag things over both monitors, but what I'm trying to do is get a game on just one screen, and then my normal desktop on the other screen. When I go on Fallout 3 both screens go black, then the game shows up ok on the main screen, but on the other screen the desktop is really messed up, it seems that the resolution goes down and there is a big black border. I can still see Mozilla, but when I click on it the game just minimizes on my main screen, but what I want to do is interact with both screens when I'm playing the game. Is that actually possible anyway? I just thought it might of been.
