    What are you asking? Do you want to play the game on both screens at the same time? Do you want to have Conan on one monitor and the Windows desktop on the other monitor?

    I don't know what you are asking, but you might try running Conan NOT in fullscreen mode. Instead, try running it in windowed mode. These options should be in the video options menu in the game itself.

    Are you running Vista or XP?

    Go to your desktop, right click and press properties (XP) or personalize (Vista). In Vista, now you click on the last option "Display Settings". In XP make sure you are at the last tab.

    Now you have your monitors listed. Select the one you want displayed (from the dropdown selector) and select, "This is my main monitor". Then press apply and your screens will switch. Then you may need to go back in, select the OTHER monitor (the one you aren't using) and uncheck "extend the desktop onto this monitor" if it is checked.

    Come back if you need more assistance.

    Oh also, if you have the Nvidia Control Panel installed. Right click on your desktop, click on Nvidia Control Panel. Then choose basic and have it walk you through the process. Otherwise choose advanced, click on the "setup multiple displays" thing in the left pane, and it is all fairly self explanatory from there.
