Forums -> Multiple monitors -> second screen while full screen gaming

is it possible to script a button, so that when i hold it down, i can float the mouse over to the second screen while maintaining full screen gaming on the primary screen?

i wanna be able to play games at the same time, while being able to chat without minimizing the game.

I don't think so but from what I hear Xfire will help with that. I don't use it and I wouldn't ask all my friends to switch to it just because I did.

Yeah, Im having that same problem. I would like to be able to full screen a game, while surfing the web, folders, chat, whatver, maybe even another game . But when I click on the other screen my game minimizes.

It can be done - I use a programme specifically for this purpose when playing Eve-Online so that I can sure/read email/look at spreadsheet while playing. It's called Eve-Launcher

He has 2 versions, one for Eve and one for everything else. What you need is a game that plays in windowed mode. Then use ShiftWindowshift to remove the bars etc and you can do both at the same time i.e. leave game playing on monitor 1 while reading your email on monitor 2 etc...
