Multiple Monitors

When you have lets say two monitors hooked up onto the one computer are u able to split what u see on each for instance watch ad video file using windows media player on one monitor and on the other play a game?

Woo interesting koo thanx for that but seeing as i cant test this i was wondering if u could try sumthing like play the video file and play the game but have the game windowed so the taskbar is still there would that work? If u can try i would really like 2 know the answer to that. Thanx.

hmm srry.. i can't find a game that i can play in a windowed mode. but what happens is the mediaplayer try's to center when you start a game so you'll only see half a movie, and divx player turns blue... and hangs afterwards...

but i can understand why. in a game you'll need the mouse to turn and stuff so the mous cannot exit the screen what is a very important factor in dualvieuw. so i think the only game you can play in dualvieuw is freecell

srry.. but i tried..
