Hello,
I have a little problem.
For a few months, I have had 2 screens in dual screen. The first one is a 4:3 with a low resolution and the second one is a brand new 16:9.
The issue is that the 4:3 has a resolution that is too low to run most of the games I would like to play, while they run perfectly on the 16:9...
You might tell me to set my 16:9 as the main screen, but for various reasons, I want to keep the 4:3 as the main one.
Do you happen to know a solution to my problem??
Thanks in advance!!
Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 3.6.8

3 solutions :
the game supports multi-monitor (like EvE Online) and allows you to choose in the options menu which screen displays the game
You play in windowed mode and move the window to screen 2 (if you're lucky your game supports optimized windowed mode like World of Warcraft and you can make it fullscreen on the screen of your choice)
You go to the graphics driver options before launching your game and switch screen 2 to the main screen for the duration of the game. (Nvidia allows this, I've never had an ATI, so I don't know)

My main issue is that my primary screen refuses to display games due to the excessively high resolution requested...
or maybe you didn't explain well enough what you wanted to do (or I understood very poorly.)
It's going to be a mess on my desk again ...
