Gaming in dual monitors

How can I get a full screen game to display in a secondary monitor. I tried nView but it doesnt work or i dont know how to use it.

 

Humm. You could just switch to Clone view when you game.

Not a perfect solution.

Try looking at Ultramon or Displayfusion.

I also know Nvidia has a more complete solution, but it isn't free and it is only supported on it's Profressional cards (ie Quadros.)

 

You'll probably just have to switch which monitor is your main monitor when you game. There are also ways to get your taskbar and stuff onto your secondary monitor (you'll have to use google to find them) so you can use the seconary monitor as your main desktop but still have the other monitor technically be the primary display so fullscreen apps use it.

I'm pretty sure displayfusion at least won't be able to do it.

This program can save the positions of your desktop icons so you can avoid the annoying hassle of having to rearrange your desktop icons when changing your display settings messes them up.

 

Windows XP & earlier support Horizontal Span mode which allows applications to run across multiple monitors. Vista/W7 does not.

 

You need a device like Matrox Dual Head 2 Go it will make 2 monitors appear as one to your computer. Gaming is best on 3 or you will have the bezel right in the middle of your screen.

Some games support 2 monitors out of the box with standard windows extended mode.

 

Ok I should probably describe my situation better. I have a laptop which i use as my main monitor. I dont have icons, instead I have objectdock. I tried making the new monitor my primary however objectdock moves over to that one which is a problem. This is why i want my laptop to remain the main screen. Also when I make my monitor the main screen the taskbar can be dragged back to my laptop screen however if i reconnect it to the monitor, it pops back to the monitor again which is annoying.
