Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Gaming on one, chat on another???

Hey everyone,
I just recently decided to add another video card to my system in order to take advantage of the dual monitor advantages. What I specifically wanted from it was to be able to play fullscreen 3d-accelerated games on one monitor and chat on the other (msn, irc, whatever). How would one go about it? It seems whenever i start a 3d accelerated game, I can`t access my other monitor at all?

Here`s my system specs :

AMD Athlon 1200mhz
512mb sdram pc133
GeForce 2 Ultra 64mb
Matrox Mystique (the old one, 2mb PCI)
WinXP

Any help?

PS : I`d like to be able to play games on one monitor while having IRC open on another and be able to effectively switch monitors (to chat) without the game minimizing on the other screen.

The only game that i know this works with is quake3.. I just hit the windows key and can switch over to my second monitor with the game still running..

I sometimes check different platforms just to compare how they are structured and how user-friendly they feel. Recently, I came across something that reminded me of a live free cam girls format, and I decided to explore it without any expectations. As I went through different sections, I noticed that everything was arranged in a way that didn’t require extra effort to understand. In the middle of my session, it became clear that the platform focuses on keeping things simple and accessible. I didn’t encounter any confusing elements, which made the experience smoother. It’s not always easy to find something that balances structure and usability, but this one seemed to manage it fairly well.
