Post subject:  Dual screen monitor

I recently added another monitor and I'm pretty satisfied with it. My problem is this:

........Monitor 1....................Monitor 2
______________..______________________
|..........................|.|...........................................|

I want to have monitor 1 as my main monitor and monitor 2 my gaming monitor. But when I open a game it will open on monitor 1. I can fix that by making the game run in a window and draging it over. But for some reason my video quality for CZ isn't as good if I play in a window so I have to play full screen, which means I can't play on monitor 2.

My question is, can I play full screen games on monitor 2 if my main monitor is monitor 1?

I had the same problem. Just set what ever monitor you want to game on as your primary monitor and setup your desktop on the secondary monitor how ever you want it. Also you can drag your windows start button bar around to the other screen if you need to. The game will run on full screen on whatever mointor you have set as your primary monitor.

I couldnt do it either, so I gave up and I've done it like this:

|Monitor2| - |Monitor1|

This makes it so I have to drag my mouse right to get to Monitor 2. Awkward, but its worked out :P

Yeah but if you right click and select properties (on the desktop) then go to settings, you can swap 1 and 2 (by dragging 2) and then when you move your mouse right it will move from the left to right screen.... simple.
