thundercunt Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Set full screen in options to "no". Then Drag and drop ET window on other screen. Thats what I do any way. But im sure some one has a better way. Quote

WaRnInJa Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 Set full screen in options to "no". Then Drag and drop ET window on other screen. Thats what I do any way. But im sure some one has a better way. hehehe thats what i used to do before but then i figure it is better to just make the external monitor as primary and run everything there so im using the lap top monitor as an extender (extention)... i think is better that way.... im trying to while im playing on the external monitor on full screen cross the mouse over the other screen without having to resize the game screen.... i think its imposible tho but i wanna know if anybody can make that hapend....... i wish i can post a pic a vid here but im not sure how to do it... thunder if u know how to put a video here on forums make a topic about it so u guys better undertand what im trying to do .... the pics i have here t says when im tryjng to post it that it is too big, im not sure if i know how to resize it...

thundercunt Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Just upload it somewhere and post us a link. and gpu specs too Quote
Administrators JoeDirt Posted September 4, 2009 Administrators Posted September 4, 2009 im trying to while im playing on the external monitor on full screen cross the mouse over the other screen without having to resize the game screen. Impossible. Quote
Number1Dad Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Impossible. Yep. Get a minimizer or ALT+TAB out. I use this minimizer, it works with pretty much any game out there: http://www.idcation.com/?lang=en&X=news&id=142 Quote
Loki Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Play the game in windowed mode on the external monitor, at nearly full screen resolution. Then you should be able to do what you want to do. If you run the game in true full screen, the full screen application usually locks in exclusive access to the pointing device which is why you cant get the pointer to "cross over". I havent run a second monitor in a while since I got my 20" WS LCD, and my laptop cant play newer games cause it only has a old vid card, but thats how I used to do it when I ran duals. Quote
