ive been trying to play SOF on second monitor.for about 6 hours now,,ive tried everything but the best i got was it displayed a quater the size,ive tried hotkeys but it wont maximize. ive actually tried most every setting there is,,my monitors are the exact same make and model,,wouldnt it be easy to just have a button or setting that says SWAP MONITORS? ive found nothing like that anywhere ,,ive tried setting my 2nd monitor to the primary one but i may as well rub cheese against the screen as this changes the apperance more than trying to swap what is primary. if i wasnt bald i would have ripped out all my hair.
ive had ultra mon for months now and know my way around the software but im tempted to get a marker pen and draw my own button on the screen called SWAP MONITORS! or switch monitors.
i dont want millions of different ways to alter the settings like ive got ,,i just want one single button saying switch! i have managed to switch them but SOF dosent like me doing that and refuses to join in..should i just throw away my pc and burn down my house? or acept that if im going to play a game its goto be on the left hand monitor primary or not?

oh its ok ive just read in the forums that its not possible with games,,thanks anyway! next time i will spend the money on an operation to have my left and right eyes swapped over just to play games, now thats just silly! of course they would be better on bendy wire so i could move them around to suit my needs. by the way i do actually love some of the features of ultra mon videoscreen saver ,,stretching 1 image across the two screen etc. but its very very very user unfriendly. personally i never got my degree in advanced monitor setup and find quantum mechanics/rocket science and D.N.A much easier to understand. xx

Switching the primary monitor should usually work fine, but I've also seen games which will always run on the monitor which is set as primary in BIOS.

Changing the BIOS primary monitor is probably not an option though, as this would require a reboot.
