Most games "stuck" on the first screen .. like Fall Out 3 for example.
Now I bought Red Alert 3 - when you move the mouse to the side of the screen it pops up on the second one .. some games I would love to have something like this, especially when you may need notes or whatever, but this is just annoying.
Whats really weird : I thought I just disable the 2nd monitor in the device managed .. it showed disabe but it was still on and I could use it ?
Tried to disable it with defcon - but either the i386 version doesn't work on x64 Vista or it just cannot disable the monitor after all ...
This is frustrating
I suppose I can disable it using the NVIDIA control panel - would just be great to be able to write a batch file to disable the 2nd screen and start the game

Funny you should bring this up today. For the first time in a few months, I went to open Command & Conquer: Zero Hour, and realized I would need to disable my 2nd monitor too. Sucks!
