DVD + Games

Hey guys,

What I would quite like to do is play a game (like starcraft, something
that changes resolution) on my primary screen while watching a DVD on
the other. I have a 7800GS. With some games it is possible (like
TitanQuest) or games that can be run in windowed mode.
Is the a way to make it work for any game (or other fullscreen
applications)? I am using UltraMon btw.
If it is not possible with the graphics card is there another hardware
configuration that makes it possible? I dont want to put another PC up
just so my gf can watch films while I play.

Thanks in advance for your ideas

Chris

Sure, just configure your DVD player program to use the secondary screen
while games automatically use the primary display.

With standalone DVD players sold for a few bucks today I doubt that
putting up another PC (or changing your current hardware setup) makes
much sense.
