Dual monitor full screen problem.

arquliz · Feb 25, 2010, 01:30 PM

I have a dual monitor setup with two screen with different resolutions.
I'm trying to make the games and applications not minimize when i do stuff on the secondary screen, but i can't seem to find a solution.
For example when i play l4d2 i want to pause the game and go to the other monitor and do something in my browser, but when i click on the browser on the secondary screen it minimizes the game on the primary screen.
Any of you got a solution for this?

Maybe you should try to play game in window, right click on shortcut under shortcut tab you will see Run: (set maximized).
I am not so sure if that will help you but it is worth to try.
Good luck,
Best regards.

any game will minimise when you move to the secondary monitor, it is frustrating, but i think it's a limitation of DirectX
