Dual Monitor/Extended Desktop Help

[kalerado28]

Hey, folks!

I have the current set-up for my GZ2.

Dell Latitude laptop with Windows XP Home.
42" AKAI EDTV Plasma TV

My question is:

If I "extend my desktop" using the plasma TV as Monitor #2, how do I configure GZ2 to automatically start-up into Monitor#2 on the plasma when loaded, instead of it loading and occupying the enitre Montior#1 display on my laptop?

Is there a script or DOS command that I can use to load and run GZ2 on my "extended desktop" monitor automatically?

Thanks in advance for any feedback and suggestions.

What graphics card are you running? Its not really an 'ingame' option you see. On NVIDIA cards i know that you can go to the nvidia control panel and select which monitor you want as primary. If you switch this around then all games will be displayed on your other monitor. If you are using an AT card i imagine the process is somewhat similar, but ive never owned an ATI card so i cant be certain.

Thanks

Whenever I hear somebody using multi-monitor displays, I always suggest UltraMon. It's key for using multiple monitors effectively, and as to your question, it has a setting that if you right click any exe and go to properties, you can set which monitor that exe should startup in, what resolution, and the position of the window. Check it out!

Also, if you use real dual monitors, it has a cool taskbar that will extend into the second monitor, and only the application that are open on that monitor show up in that taskbar, and only the apps open on the main monitor will show up on that taskbar.
