I have two new monitors, a 2001fp and a 2005fp. I want to be able to use the 2005fp for games that support 16:10 widescreen, but for games that dont, I want to be able to use the 2001fp. Right now waht I am doing is just going thru display properties and chaning which one is the primary monitor, but that is a pain because I usually forget, and have to exit the game and go back. Is there an easer way, perhaps a program that lets me use a quick hotkey or something to switch monitors?
 
I haven't looked into it yet, but I noticed when fooling around in the display settings for my BFG 6800 Ultra that there appeared to be a way to set certain programs to default to what ever screen you specify.. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I really didnt' look to detailed into it, but I think that would be one [H]ell of a good idea for the driver programmers to include.
 
I'm pretty sure you can do it how Pringals mentioned. I've noticed it before as well, although never used it. You link a certain program to a certain monitor, or use special shortcuts to the program that tells it which monitor to use. Something like that. It should be included in your nvidia display software.
 
Looked thru nView, cant figure it out. UltraMon I coudlnt find anything in. Someone has to have tried it.
