Oke. Here is the deal. I got now 2 times a 17" tft screen attached to my computer. But the computer sees it as 1 big screen. I don't want this..

And my pc options only say "span" or "clone". Span = 1big screen.. and clone well thats easy :P

But I want that each screen is 1 for it own ( only 1 has the start button ) and the other 1 just well just be there. So I can run SRO at 1 and use msn or mIRC on the other 1.

I don't know how to do this or google for this.. So I ask here for help.

Any ideas?

I used to have that, the only problem was that I couldnt quickly switch my mouse from one screen to the other, I'd have to alt-tab :/

You have to play in windowed mode - just set it to windowed mode but at max resolution.

I used to run a 19 and 17 wide; but, with my 22 and my new desk I don't have any room to put another monitor. I have a 19 and a 17 wide sitting in my closet =[

this is your solution. you can't play full-screen games on a dual-display system without stretching them across both. put SRO in windowed mode.

also, moving to right section.

You can if you set it up right. There`s three modes but I forget their respective names. The first one is the normal full stretch, and playing in full screen mode will stretch across the two. The second one is a clone setup, where they are displaying identical things (useful for external displays on a laptop) , and the last one is a "span" which happens to be the most useful for gaming. Playing on fullscreen with a "span" will only effect the monitor in which you launched the game. There's a master-slave attribute added to each display and they are independant of eachother. However, in this "span" mode, you will have to alt tab to drag your mouse from one screen to the other, so it's advisable that you play games in a windowed mode but at full resolution, so it doesn't look windowed and allows you to change screens at will.

Sorry for using your post as an entry, but I felt like explaining it.
