Dual Monitor Switching - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

the_marq · 06-12-2004, 04:32 PM

I am running 2 monitors off of a single AGP card (Ge4).

I want a way to be able to quickly turn off the second monitor w/o having to go thru the "display settings." I am thinking of something like a batch file that I click on to activate and deactivate the secondary monitor.

Reason being; when I play some games the mouse will wander over to the second monitor and foul shit up.

Any ideas? I am running XP.

Get a program called UltraMon. It is an amazing program. You can assign shortcut keys to turn on and off monitors amongst other things. There are tonnes of things you can configure in it aswell. Only bad thing is its not free. It has a free trial though. Try it out and see what you think
