Dual Monitors Troubles

[littlewicky]

So recently I bought a LG 23EA73LM-P monitor, which is replacing my old Dell 1280x1024. I am still using the Dell as a auxiliary display. I use it to display a chat clients and music players and other such stuff. But when I game on the LG if I want to click on something that is being displayed on the Dell, the game will minimize. It is as if I was Alt-Tabing out of the game. I am running a GTX 660. The LG is plugged in by HDMI and the Dell is by a DVI to VGA cable. So is it possible to have another desktop that is separate from my main one?

That's just the way it works. play in windowed mode if you want to click on stuff out side the game.

I guess that is my last resort.

But it would be nice if Surround/Eyefinity supported different resolution setups. Like Portrait Landscape Portrait setups, where you use a large format 2560x1600 and two 24" 1080p screens for peripheral vision in games. People have done it but with editing the driver. You get the screen real-estate, but you don't have the six feet of screen with 3x1080p set up
