Dual Screen Force Game to 2nd Screen

[mcobbs]

I have a dual screen setup, and I want to force a game to open on the secondary screen. Is this possible. The game is fullscreen only, so there is no window to drag to the other screen. Is there a command switch that can control which screen it opens on??

You can always set the currently secondary screen as primary & move your icons & taskbar around.

As Didou said you can change what screen your programs opening then that only thing would be that all of your programs would then open on the second monitor, including one that you may not want over there. Although as long as they aren't full screen programs they would be able to be dragged back to the other monitor.

Get a program called Ultramon, it allows you to move things across the screen and to change were a program is open in (monitor 1 or 2),

Thanks

OK, I downloaded the trial of Ultramon. It's great. I was trying to force halo 1 onto the 2nd monitor. Even when I used ultramon, it didn't work. But the program gave me enough control, I made the second monitor my primary, I can control which other programs open on which screen, I can easily flip the programs from one screen to another. Ultramon is great! Anyway for some reason, Halo has to run on the primary monitor.

Thanks for the help, I suppose we could close this post.

Just curious since you say you download the trial home much is the full version, and is the trial a limited time thing or do you just not get all the bells and whistles the full version comes with?
