Hey, I just set up a multiple monitor system - sweet.<br />
<br />
I have a 18&quot; and 19&quot; monitors each plugged into it's own VGA port Radeon 850xt. &nbsp;My problem is, I want to be able to play a video game on one, and still use the second monitor without minimizing the game. &nbsp;The second monitor would be used for programs such a VLC for video, or AIM. &nbsp;However, whenever I scroll over to the second monitor and click a window, the game closes. &nbsp;I know this is logical windows behavior, however what i'm looking for is setting up the monitors to act like seperate entities... or seperate computers. &nbsp;I can only describe this as: Multiple window focus.<br />
<br />
Is this possible?<br />

Windows XP - Dual Monitors - Stealing focus problems/multiple focus?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
