well, i have 3 monitors, and sometimes ingame, if i get a MSN msg or something i have to minimize, its quite annoying so im wondering if there is a program that allows me to interact with my "desktop" on that monitor without alt-tabbing and minimizing my game, im aware i can run it windowed but that kinda failes at life... :P another possibility would be to somehow force that window to stay fullscreen and maximized even if i go over to the other monitor and click??? :think:

any help is appreciate :D :smoker:
thanks !

What game are you talking about here? And in one of your pics did I spy a G15 keyboard? Let me know more, I think I have an idea

oops, thought it said 2009, not 2008 :D anyway, I remember seeing an applet for the G15 to work with trillian where it shows IMs on the LCD. All you have to do is hit one of the keys by the LCD then when you type it goes straight to the LCD and you don't have to alt tab.

I prefer Pidgin actually.

wow spam.

Seriously, was it part of the joke to hijack? lol

I know it's a year old but you can try windows+t, it's not really an alt tab but can sorta work the same way if you hit it then hit space to pull up.

i think it was a spam bot... But its deleted now :)

And at the time i think i was thinking about something that would allow me to say use MSN on my other screen while ingame. But now im just looking for an ingame IRC/MSN program... Gamepe works for IRC but it requires a stand alone client for MSN... and i use pidgin, not to mention it doesnt support desktop use.
