Wow, who's ass are you pulling that out of?  when you have two moniters and load up a full-screen game (We'll take CS for example), it simply runs on your primary moniter like it would if that was your only moniter, and the second one usually just switches t a lower color mode and might shift over a bit if resolutions change.  But otherwise, you could turn off moniter #2 and play like you just had one moniter.  It's not hard to pay attention to a specific moniter instead of looking in between both of them because that's where th emiddle is, just move your eyes 6 inches to the left and you're set...and I think we can all handle that much physical movement, don't you?

Yes, you're right, games that do not support multiple monitors will display only on the main screen. What I meant is that if the game supported multiple monitors, and it was an FPS for example, it will display the crosshair in between the two monitors if you have an even number. If you had read back a page or two you would have seen where I stated the software that the company I work for is working on. It will allow most games to support multiple monitors. Right now we have starcraft working which is awesome because you can see 3x what you can normally see (in my case with 3 monitors). So if someone was to run our software on Half Life, and they only had 2 monitors, they would be stuck with their crosshairs on the border of the 2 monitors. Which is another problem we are going to fix. We will eventually have it so that if you do only have a dual screen setup, you can choose which to use as the main screen. So if you choose the left screen, you'll have an extended view onto your right monitor, and vise versa.

Just moved house i nthe past few months and theres a lot of work to be doen everywhere, but hopefully my christmas bonus will carpet this room and buy me a new desk, a new 2nd monitor to match the main monitor, and if im lucky a dinovo kb and mouse.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
