Forums -> Multiple monitors -> newbie trying to get games to work on two monitors

Hey all,

I'm brand new to the multi monitor craze, and to be honest I'm a little skeptical. I bought a brand new 19" LCD monitor as my primary, however I've noticed a little ghosting when playing games. I have an older 17" CRT that I'd prefer to use for gaming as my secondary monitor. My LCD is on the left, CRT on the right.

The problem is that whenever I try to run a game fullscreen, it automatically launched on my primary LCD. I've messed with having the game start on the right monitor to no avail. The only way I seem to be able to do this is if I run in windowed mode, which to me is less than desirable. I'd like to be able to run a game on the right and be able to chat or browse on the left.

Any suggestions?

fullscreen games almost always play on the primary monitor. change the CRT to be primary and it should come up on the CRT instead.
