    Can anyone help me, dual monitors

    When i have my tft attached as well as my crt in cloned mode, and i run a game, i cannot force the refresh rate over the maximum refresh rate of my TFT (75hz), i unplug the tft and it works fine

    I take it when i run the game, it appears on both monitors so it forces the lowest possible refresh rate so i can be displayed on both ? as the tft cant go over 75.

    Is there anyway round this?

    But the games I play don't support dual view and that includes battlefield 2, and you will only have the image on one monitor.
    Woohoo now Assistant Manager!

    when in directx you can't span one virtual screen accross two monitors with different refresh rates. Nore would you probably want to (see nyquest rule)
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
