Dual Monitor Question/ Problem

Adidas · 29 Dec 2010

Hey everybody, first post! I've been running dual monitors for a long time, on XP and 7 alike. I like to have Winamp open on my secondary monitor for my music, and then whichever game I'm playing fullscreen on the primary monitor. My problem is that if I'm playing a fullscreen game, and then I click anywhere on the other monitor, the game that's in fullscreen gets minimized. This makes sense, as I'm selecting another program, but I'd like to be able to game and use the other monitor as well. Is there any way to do this? It doing this really limits my multitasking while gaming. TIA.

Only if the game has a "Windowed (Fullscreen)" type of option. That way it'll still occupy the whole screen but won't be treated like it's full screen.
