Forums -> Multiple monitors -> NEED SOME QUICK HELP! :(
Excruci@ting   2002-08-20 22:53
Is there anyway of running a game on your default monitor and having another screen on your secondary screen. And then while playing your game, move the mouse over to the second screen and click there without the game hoping back to destop.
???
When ever you click on the secondary monitor while playing a game it jumps you out of your game.
Any idea how to fix it, and make it stay in the game?

Only solution would be a "patch" or something to the game to prevent it from minimizing when losing focus.

The problem is that if you click another application/desktop/anything, the currently running app/game loses the focus and Windows shifts the focus to the clicked application. There's no changing that unfortunately, is the way Windows works.

Sorry, but I don't think there's a way. Many, many people have tried this, in vain.

agree... no way for that.. But it still remains as nice feature, as you can read incoming MSN or ICQ or what ever events are coming in... So avoid playing Diablo2 in HardCore mode as level 90 in HELL, clicking on your other window while playing... if you see what I mean.... ;)
