Hi all

Me and my friend have just put two flatscreen monitors on his computer by
connecting one to his 3d card (blue analog plug) and the second to the other
plug on his 3d card (white digital) I used an adapter as both monitor cables
are the blue/analog type, when it boots up it shows the windows xp screen
realy good on both screens (screen 1 & 2) but when we play a hidden object
type of game it is displayed on only the primary (screen 1) monitor. We
would like to know if there is a way to play this game on both monitors, so
that we can see two exact displays of the same game on the two monitors.

Thanks all
Gabriel

From my own personal experience, when I've had issues with the secondary
monitor not displaying the picture, despite xp desktop showing ok on
both, I have had to mess with the software's own settings to remedy the
situation. Being a game, there might not be any settings you can change
to help. Two possible alternatives to try:

Get hold of ultramon - not sure if it's free - and see if that can help.
Get a VGA splitter instead.
