i got 2x Lg 24'' monitor and my question is when i start red alert 2 i play only in one monitor cuz 2 monitor is to big and wot ever i dont like it...i prefer 1920x 1080

but i would like to use the second monitor to do other stuff like internet/check stat,set music.... cuz when ra2 is open the mouse is trapped in the first monitor and i cant go to the second monitor

there is a way to fix this? Windowed mode?

When i play aoe II or AoM (dunno if its only Microsoft game..) i can play the game and switch to the second monitor without exit the game or alt tab it and its NOT in Windows mode

i succesfully do it with ra2 last night with playing with the reso setting on Windows or nvidia but i didnt remember wot i did or if i upgrade the gpu setting has been reseted to default

 

thx...in advance

You can do this with Actual Multiple Monitors. The hotkeys that you'll need are "Lock Mouse" (when this is disabled, it lets you move the mouse to the second screen even when you're in game) and "Ignore Deactivation" which will prevent the game from minimizing when using the second display.

 

Other options would be to run the game in windowed mode or in a vm.

No, it's actually an application that you have to buy.

I already told you the solution. There's two hotkeys that you need. Mouse Lock / Unlock and "Ignore Deactivation".

 

I think the default hotkeys are ctrl+shift+alt+L and ctrl+shift+alt+i but you can change them to something else.
