Dual Screen

[spiritof350sb]

maybe im thinking of this all wrong
but i bought an extra 17inch CRT
so i can run dual screen.. under the impression of
being able to game and talk on AIM without interfering with the game
but everytime i go to reply to Im's it minimizes the game...

did i waste my money?

or is there some sort of changes i can do?

you could try running the game in full screen.

i think dual screens may be more for desktop use.
i know you can download something for media player to display the visualiser full screen on the second monitor, other than that i thought it was just like having a large desktop.

full screen apps like word work i assume on one screen.
