Hi, I had a simple question that I just can't find the answer to. I have
two
monitors, a 32" LCD and a 19" CRT. I am running a dual monitor setup
(extended desktop) and I want my primary to be the CRT and secondary the
LCD.
I know how to do that.

However, what I wanted was to play my games in the LCD, but everytime I
try
I can't get them to play in the LCD. They always play in my CRT. The
only way
to play is to use my LCD monitor as a primary, and I do not want to do
that.

Is there a way to get the games to play in your secondary monitor?

PS- I'm running vista 32Bit

Hey!
I've been having the same exact dilemma!
I've been looking for some kind of software that can allow you to
choose which screen to play a game on, even if the game doesn't
support it from in-game options.

I think.. the ONLY way i see this being done feasibly is to have
some kind of launcher that changes the primary display to the 32"
screen before launching the game, then resets back the settings once
you exit the game.

i'm sure someone with basic programming skills can devise this kind
of app!?
... anyone?

There is no really easy way to do this. The only way that it could
feasably be done would be to pass keyboard signals to the computer, to
open up Display Properties and make the necessary changes, all through
the automated keyboard.

You're thinking as in some kind of macro playback thing?.. hmm.. well
since my post I tried fiddling about with a program called Ultramon. a
feature of this prog is that it can save a kind of customized display
setting to a file which changes to it upon double click (or run).. so
what i did was set 2 profile settings, one with TV as primary then
another with 19" monitor as primary.. then in notepad typed in something
like this:

c:\(path and filename to TV as primary)
c:\(path and filename to game exe file)
c:\(path and filename to monitor as primary)

save this as a .bat file and use it as a launcher of the game you wanna
see full screen on the TV :-D

i guess, this is the closest we'll ever get.
