    We'll this thing is driving me nuts. Every time I play a game on one monitor , I can't access anything on the other. I would love to be able to play a game on one monitor, and browse email, internet, trillian etc. Is there any way to do this? Either with windows or a third party software.

    I'm in utter need of help because I'm going crazy.

    Oh, if it makes any difference I'm running this off of a 7900GT.

    well this is what u do ( what i do ):

    go controll panel > nvidia control panel > display > change display configuration.

    then set two monitors and set it on wide , use one screen half for game and other for other things.

    But even with those setting, the window still minimizes when trying to use the other monitor.

    There has to be a way. Although I've searched google and nothing much comes up. Hopefully someone with experience in multi monitors will read this.
