if your running dual monitors or in his case tri monitors. Then you have settings to choose you can make your video expand on the monitors or you can make it reflect the other one, to answer your question just drag your window to whatever monitor you want all you do is click your window and drag from one monitor to ther other. The problem is you might run vengeance on one window and teamspeak on the other or whatever if you click on the other monitor your game minimizes. There is a third option you can use for dual/tri monitors but i forget the name of it and how exactly it works.

1) I'm jealous
2) Howd you get it to be a 3-screen desktop?
3) What hardware you running?
4) Did I mention I'm jealous? Help a RD brother out and gimme one monitor so I can have my own dual-monitor set up. :D
i'm running 2 off of a radeon 9800. 1 is connected to the normal VGA output and the other is connected to the DIV output with a DIV-VGA adapater.

the third monitor is connected to an old school voodoo 3 2000. it has 8 mb or ram i think :shock: its not powerful, but it does the job

I have it set up so it works as one giant screen. Imagine that the bars between the monitors arn't there. The desktop background image is 3072x768 pixels ...

If i want to move a window from one monitor ot another, all i have to do is drag. Its the best investment i've ever made for my computer. It really enhances its useability.

The other mode beggin is thinking of allows your monitors to act like 2 separate computers. I'm not sure how to set that up, but i dont think it is as cool as what i have :)

Dundunna, I love that trackball. I wish i could find a new version of what i have. Unfortunatly, all of them are wireless now that i've seen. Mine is incredibly discolored. It used to be white, haha. It will be a long time before i switch to a new one.

Techfiend is the only other person i know who plays FPS games with a trackball. He has (or atleast had last i talked to him) the same one as well

For Beggins benefit, I just bought WoW just now. Tried to get Ninja Gaiden for the X-Box as well, but they're out. Grrr... But WoW should nicely take all my free time. :D

Aha! So my assumption is right...Kraska is a mutant with a third eye. If I had that many monitors, I would go cross-eyed...hold on, I already am!
