    Dual Monitor problems ish.

    Hey,
    I have my dual monitors set up working nicely. I normally have irc on my slave the game on my main. Was wondering if there was anyway to switch between the 2 without the game minimising, so i could always see whats going on with both whether im shooting people or chatting away to tribe m8s etc.
    Any help apreciated.

    The short answer to this one is, no.

    Although, if you run games in windowed mode then it is quite wholly possible to achieve what you want.

    nup you cant do it, the game would always stop/crash/pause/minimse when you move the curser away. Best solution is a cheap 2nd pc or laptop to run msn etc on, tis what i do =)

    I guess if the window manager worked differently it would be possible, but that isn't going to happen if you're running MS Windows.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
