Just got in to fallout3, however running a dual screen set up (as i do) crashes it instantly, so i have to go graphics settings, change to show desktop only on monitor 1, keep changes etc
a small yet persistent ballache (some may say quite similar to myself...)
Was wondering if there was a command i could put in the fallout3 shortcut that does this for me before launching the game? or maybe a way of changing to one monitor via a shortcut on the desktop... any ideas guys?

i'm running two screens as well, but have no problems with fallout 3?

i use ultramon to get two seperate desktops though, maybe that could solve it?

Is this off the same card, or a Crossfire/SLI setup?

SLI won't work with two monitors, not so sure about Crossfire although the new cards with Eyefinity do I think... :scratch:

I'm running off a single card with an expanded desktop, if you google it its a pretty widespread problem (the fallout 3 problem)
does ultramon let you use the other screen without minimising the game on the other?

no it doesn't, it basically gives you a longer desktop spread across two screens, with separate task bars (programs on the right screen appear on the right task bar and vice versa)
