[Destroyer^]

hey guys got myself a second monitor and have them both up and running fine but im wondering if if can do:

1. move my vista start bar accross to the second screen

2. make it so that when im playign warhammer on first screen when i move to second screen and type on msn or facebook it wont exit the game?

Ultramon is what you need. It puts a start/task bar across the second screen.

Try running the game in a windowed mode on one screen, whist having everything else on the other, and just alt tab between them

*Mod's maybe this should be in hardware?*

Hmmm if its getting all laggy, im not sure what else to suggest?! Turn down some of the settings?

Iit's to do with the fact that it's windowed, even light games go laggy when in windowed mode.

As for the OP's original question, I had this problem a long time ago. After weeks of stressing, trying to find answers, I just gave up, with it not being worth the effort. Simply put, the way directx/opengl works means its necessary to go fullscreen to make best use of resources. In the end I just used an old PC for messaging. Plus don't forget ; it wouldn't be as easy as just moving the mouse across as most games rely on the fact that moving your mouse moves the weapon sights(FPS games) or pans (RTS games).
