Default Switching between multiple displays - 01-13-2003, 07:41 PM

I bought a 2nd monitor today. I now have a dual-monitor system. My question for you guys is this:

MOHAA is displayed on my primary monitor. Teamspeak is displayed on my secondary monitor. Is there a way to switch the cursor over to the secondary monitor while in-game? I've got the 9700 Pro.

Thanks for the help.

Damn no EDIT...

Also, my screensaver only works for the primary monitor. How can I get screensavers on both of the monitors?

Thanks again.

Not sure what problem youre having with your screensaver. Mine works for both screens without messing with anything.

When in Mohaa to get to the other monitor I hit ALT +ENTER to goto windowed Mohaa and then hit ALT+TAB to select a prog. Make sure your monitors are lined up correctly under Properties>settings and make sure extend desktop to this monitor is checked.

Thanks.

The ATI Dogs screen saver I had only used the primary. I found one that looks like the Matrix code that works on both.

I never thought about ALT + ENTER... oOo:

Thanks again.

Thanks anyways Joe. It's appreciated.

Upon trying to utilize ALT + ENTER and ALT + TAB my comp froze on me. There has to be a way to switch the focus from mohaa to whatever else is open in XP without the comp crashing.

Here's what happened:
* Teamspeak is running on the secondary
* MOHAA is running on the primary
* Alt + Enter switches the focus for a brief second, then MOHAA takes over the cursor again. No good...there's not enough time to do anything.
* Alt + Tab switches the focus indefinately, but when I bring the cursor back over to the primary and click on mohaa *CRASH!!*

Maybe I shouldn't be clicking on mohaa to bring it back, but just Alt + Tab again?

Try pressing the windows key (the one between ALT and CTRL on the left/right side) when in the small window mode.
