Dual monitors

Had a question, I have dual Monitors and was wondering why it doesn't allow me to use my other monitor while playing crossfire. I can load up Crossfire on one monitor but if I wanted to open the forums on the other monitor it won't let me. Any ideas, or reasons why this would be happening?

  • Yes you can.

    I use my main 24" for gaming and use my secondary monitor for chatting, browsing, etc. It really comes in handy when im streaming.
  • settings on display driver:
    1.set primary monitor
    2.secondary monitor set as extended desktop
    3. start game - after login - minimize game (alt+tab , will work on second attempt)
    4. after minimize game - drag other windows to secondary monitor , as internet browser, TS3 ..etc
    5. alt+tab go back to game - now secondary monitor will display all window you drag there :)

    p.s. A Side effect you may encounter using dual display: fast moving mouse to the left (or right - depending on what side is set extend display) will made mouse to be display on secondary monitor and same time game will be minimize - is a very annoying bug.

    thank you very much.
