Hey guys, im having an annoying issue in windows 8.

the problem is, i have a dual monitor setup, and im using the secondary monitor as a resource monitor, i have a cpu, gpu meter open and also AI suite.

every time i open a game, my ai suite switches screens... i've tried everything i know to keep it on my secondary screen but im not having any luck with it.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

CPU: core i7 3930k @4.2ghz- MOBO: ASUS P9X79- GPU: GTX 680 2gb Reference SLI- SIMM: 8gb Kingston hyperX genesis 1600mhz- HDD/SSD: Seagate Baracuda 1.0tb/OCZ agility 3/ Vertex 2- CASE: corsair graphite 600T- COOLER: corsair H100- PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 850w- FANS: Noctua NF-F12.

Set the game to windowed or windowed borderless.

LMAO! i said i'd give windows 8 another shot, everything except for this little minor inconvenience is working well... now, after my 5th try.
