Two monitors, one noob

Hi.

 

I got an old TV I had a long time ago to setup as a second monitor, to use for googling things and/or using spotify when I play games. But when I play CS or whatever and click on the other monitor, the game closes, which defeats the purpose of a second monitor really... Does anyone know a fix?

 

Thanks

Play in fullscreen mode instead of windowed or windowed fullscreen. This should fix it.

Change to Fullscreen windowed in video settings and try again.
