Forums -> Multiple monitors -> newbie question: DirectX on multimon

Hello, this is a question from a multimon (though not a programming) newbie. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.

Here's what I'd like to do: run a full-screen, DirectX 8.1 accelerated app on the second monitor of my 2-monitor system with an NVIDIA Quadro4 900 XGL card.

The trouble: while the app is running, any mouse click in the primary display crashes it!

Details: I currently create a 1-pixel-wide parent window on the *primary* display (WS_EX_TOPMOST, WS_POPUP); then I create a DX device for that window, on the adapter corresponding to the second monitor (Adapter=1).

I realize that something that I'm doing is wrong, but I need some help in figuring it out. Should I create the parent window on the secondary monitor? Should I change some of its properties?

If anyone has any suggestions or simple working examples, I would be very grateful.

Mark
