    Game on secondary monitor


    Hello All and Happy New Year!

    I want a game to load up on my secondary monitor.

    It runs in full-screen and I can't seem to toggle using WinKey+Tab.

    How do I do that?

    Some games will work if you move the game to the second monitor while windowed then full screen it there. Others wont. And a LOT of games don't know anything about monitors at all and will only run full screen on the primary

    There may be a chance that there is some kind of tweaky tool that might put full screen aps onto the second monitor, but I haven't heard of one myself.

    fseal is correct alot of games consume the primary monitor. For example Cod 4, so what I did is have a shortcut that goes right to the display properties, and when I want to run on the 37" I just click on the monitor and check make primary - apply then switch back when I'm done.

    Well, that's bad news

    I'll try the monitor-switching trick- and thanks for the quick feed-back!
