Dual Monitor Question
So I'm now running dual monitors, however, the wallpaper is messed up on it.
I was wondering whether I could make them both have seperate backgrounds? Also - When I go to play COD4, the 2nd monitor simply goes black and will not come back in to use whenever I close COD and try and select dual monitors - there is no dual option available. I'm using the Nvidia Control panel btw. Thanks

Seperate backgrounds can be sorted with a program called Ultramon.. It'll also let you do plenty of other things too. It's kinda cool.
Not sure what's up with the black secondary screen during games though..

Not without tabbing out of the game, no. Not to the best of my knowledge anyways...

You can do that, with the window, but every time your mouse leaves that window you lose its influence over the game.. You're left stood still while you scramble to find the mouse pointer after a particularly jerky movement and the next thing you know, you're dead.
I only use windowed mode in games where the keyboard is the primary method of control... e.g. Trackmania.

Some FPSes lock the mouse to the window anyway, so you can't exit unless you pause. At least, SOURCE games do that for me.
