Using span didn't work, it just shut off one monitor and played the game on the other, dang...

It would be weird though, having the crosshair in the gap...

(Then there's single screen, where one screen just isn't used, clone which is same thing on both screens)

I use Dual View but with my moitor conencted to my tv so i can play a DVD on my pc, have it payng on my tv but I can use my pc at the same time

Yes, I use ultramon to stretch a dual wallpaper over both monitors.

You could play a game over two monitors, you have to set it up in the game shortcut. I play the game on my primary monitor and have my secong monitor displaying Messenger, teamspeak, temp monitoring progs etc...

Having the second monitor has no effect on gaming performance, I have bechmarked with and without.

so if you have 2 monitors, you can still use 1 monitor to play game on, and on the other whilst in the game control messenger and stuff on the other monitor?
