bell reavue Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Apologizes if this is answered elsewhere but I wasn't able to find a solution. I'm using my laptop to play ET, but the screen is very small so I hooked up a second monitor. I would like to play ET on the monitor and be able to browse the forums on the laptop. I got ET on the monitor with alt+enter but I can't make it full screen (alt+enter again moves it back to my laptop). And when I try to play the small ET on the monitor, every time I click the mouse it switches me out of the window to my non-ET cursor. Is there anything I can do to play ET full screen on the monitor and still be able to use the laptop for other windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krusnik87 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This should help ya out from what I've seen: I might be wrong, but my guess would be that you'll have to play ET windowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum VIP -=HipKat=- Posted July 1, 2017 Platinum VIP Share Posted July 1, 2017 I use 2 monitors. I play ET on my HD monitor and can browse the internet, etc on the other. I figure a laptop would work the same way buy extending your monitor, then ID'ing which is which and setting the resolution for each in display settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broham Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I usually play windowed so I never ran into this issue, but it appears ET defaults to your main display. You can change this in the "Screen Resolution" screen (Right click your desktop --> Screen Resolution). Once there, select your second display and mark the checkbox that says "Make this my main display". No mspaint explanation below. Too bad because I was proud of my hand-drawn arrows.
