Calza Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I don't know if thats the right term but you know what i mean. At the moment all i'm using the second monitor for is msn but i'm sure i find something else for it. I've tried some sidebars but they only stay on the main monitor. Anybody have 2 monitors and have some pretty cool programs or what not. Just seems a bit off a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabookerman Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ultramon is apparently the best program to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I have 2 monitors, It lets me browse on one and Trillian/IRC on the other. When playing games i can still chat and the same goes for brwsing and video. Some games use 2, I do wherever possible. I mean, what else do you want to do with them?

I've downloaded that, pretty cool got two different wallpapers but it didn't let mee keep my sidebar but i'm going to try and find a different one.

How do you get it do stop doing that? You can't, Windows doesn't allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have to remember is you're effectively extending your display, not actually having 2 seperate interfaces. If Windows has to force a full screen application like Counter Strike, that means all of your display, not just half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Yeah, i couldn't do it with counterstrike, which was a pain. I wonder if Vista has full dual monitor support, i didn't check when i tried it a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
