      Hello all, I have two monitors and I'd like to be able to play full screen games on one (CS:S, black ops, gta) and put the wow bot on another side monitor so while i playing games I can monitor the bot. I put the wow in windowed mode on monitor 2 and I launch my full screen game on monitor one. The problem is whenever I launch the full screen game the Wow in windowed mode freezes up and I can't monitor it. Is there anyway to make it so that I wont freeze while Im in a full screen game.

      Switch out of the Game and then switch back into the game works for me.

      Are you using Ultramon or anything along those lines as a utility for multiple screens? Or just the Windows built-in stuff? I'm using Ultramon and I put the bots on my less-good screen, and I play full screen on my Main Character (26in of amazing)

      I'm having no problems with the Botting window freezing (Just not updating, it still is but you cant see it updating, the bot should still be moving around and such) while in Full Screen mode...
      But I dont really know how its working, it just is.
      Try out Ultramon, dont buy the full program. If it doesnt work then you didnt waste any money on it.

      use windowed mode on your game, if it doesn't let you do that, add -w to the .exe

      For his info, not yours Kick. Doing windowed, but making as big as possible makes it about the same size, and yeah to add the -w you go to the shortcut you have, whether it be on the desktop or in the start menu, right click, hit properties, and where it says "Target: Box here containing the path to the .exe" add -w after the quotes.
      Example ----> Target: |"C:\program files\cod4\codmultiplayer.exe" -w <-----
      Close enough :D

      thats correct, but that dosnt mean you cant have it fill the entire screen.

      The only thing I don't like about running games in windowed mode is that a little sliver of the game goes under the windows bar and I can't seem to adjust it.
