Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Gaming on one, chat on another???
White-Tiger   2002-11-28 06:04
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..
