Dual Monitor Question
-
Is there a way to run games (mainly concerned with CS) in a full screen on just one monitor? I know in some games you can run it in window mode than have an option to do that, but I don't think CS has that option.

ya you got it =P -
I think it depends on the vid card. I recall being able to play cs on one and the other be available for other things. Cannot recall how to shift from one screen to the other when running a full screen game. Each monitor did operate independently though. Of course I did not run dual for long. Also I am old and my memory could be failing me.

ya thats what I noticed hexen, thanks
I was thinking about getting a second monitor but that discouraged me, so I will wait till the summer to get my second monitor =P -
What if I use my ring finger?

The thing, is what is the purpose to have two monitors and alt tab out if you can do that anyway with one monitor? to me there isn't much of a purpose in that situation. What I would of liked to do is when I died go to the other monitor and browse the web or whatever and when I notice the round is over go straight back to the game, but alt tabbing just ruins that now doesn't it because alt tabbing will not allow you to see what is happening in the game.

Within CS --> Options -> Video -> Check off the box that says "Run in a window" -> Click Okay.
Done.
You're all retards. -

p.s.QUOTE (dan @ Jan 6 2009, 11:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You'd need to run in windowed mode. At least, that's how it works for every game I've tried.
-danQUOTE (coffee @ Jan 9 2009, 10:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>why don't you just set it to run in a window, set the window size as large as your resolution. basically full screen without minimize when you alt tab.
I demand that you change your post to reflect the fact that coffee and I are not retards. Thanks.
p.p.s. Why'd you lose the 'fro?
