Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Gaming issue (Dual Monitor)

Hi all,

In short Ive got dual monitors set up and a friend just advised me to get Ultrasoft, seems like a really smart program. Thing I wanted to know is ideally I want to be able to run a fullscreen game on my primary monitor while having programs such as MSN etc running on my secondary monitor, I can do that easily but what I want to be able to do is switch between the two so I could talk to people via MSN while playing a game on the other monitor. I tried creating a keyboard shortcut that would move my mouse cruser from my primary to secondary but it dosent seem to work.

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated,

White.

Usually that won't work, most games lock the mouse to the monitor with the game.

As a workaround, you could run the game in windowed mode if supported.

That or you alt-tab (or ctrl+alt+del) out of the game ot use the mouse on the second display.
