    I am running two monitors and i wanna run my full screen games on the #2 monitor while i use the #1 to show stats and do different things.




    How can i make my games run on monitor 2 and not monitor 1?

    Windows XP home SP2
    EVGA Geforce 6800 GS CO Editon
    Monitor #1 HP 19inch widescreen LCD
    Monitor #2 MagView 19inch CRT

    If you need more info just ask.

    I don't run dual monitors so I can't test this. Can't you change the designation of which screen is monitor #1 and which is monitor #2 in the display properties?

    Depends on what game has built in for options, most games dont support duel monitors.
