ultramon

[annilation]

After advice on here I tried using ultramon. I like having the second taskbar on the other monitor but it seems to be working funny in vista, When I right clcik an app and say move to other monitor it doesnt work. Also I am not sure if it allows this but if I have a game up on one monitor and on the other monitor and have a webpage up can I click on a link in the webpage without close the game? Because I tried that while loading a ap in bf2 and it minized the game.

Ultramon (or Forceware) will not allow you to have a game maximized on one monitor while using the desktop on the other.

In my experience, most games will act weird or not even run if I have my secondary monitor enabled. This has been my experience with XP Pro/sp2. Trying Forceware has the same result. But, with Forceware you can set it to 'horizontal span' and most games will run across both screens. Ultramon does not have this feature.

You can do this if you play the game in windowed mode.
