2 monitors, one pc, works but one problem
Hey, jusr before i got 2 monitors on my pc..Works fine on desktop, I can move my mouse over to the other monitor fine. But while i'm in a game, I cannot get my mouse over to the other monitor. I know it's possible. This is a pain because i would like to browse the internet and play a game. Or other activites.
So I was wondering if any of you have the knowledge of how to do this.
Thanks
Matt

I have a multi monitor setup and some games allow you to do this and some don't. Did you try the NVidia software? http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nview.html

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've looked in the Nvidia software, but I can't find how, in a game do I switch screens to allow my mouse to move on secondary monitor.
How do you do it? Do you use a certain hotkey?

Yes, I believe you have permanent hot keys once you have installed the program. These will be available thru any program u are running (including games).

Ok hang on, do I get http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_83.62.html
That's not a video card driver is it? Is that just for multi setups.
And can you tell me what hotkey you use. It might work for me
Thanks

Haha ok
I found Nview I had to right click on my desktop.
Ok so i set a hotkey for Switch to next display device but when I press the hotkey it says This hot key is only operational if you have more than one display avaliable and you are in a single display mode.
So Hengis, which hotkey name are you using?
