the idea stemmed from chatting with people on WLM who didn't want me to sign out to play GTA... so the idea was, one screen GTA, the other WLM... but you've outlined that as not being the case... I'll have a think about it, thanks for all the comments! (Smilie)
You could always have a second computer just for WLM.  Just have it with the bare minimum requirements to do any small things you want, I think you could also find switch boxes to change your periferals between the computer so you dont have to un-plug/replug all the time or have 2 keyboards and 2 mice on the one desk (could be a bit much with 2 monitors already).  This might not be a cheap option but it would solve it.

I also know that with the likes of Diablo II and Warcraft 3 you can set it to launch in a window rather than fullscreen which if you can find something to do the same with GTA you would not need 2 screens.

humm yeah... i'll look it up, but i might still get the monitors, my birthday money is sitting in the bank, plus the monitor i had in mind (the same as ive got now) is only around £120... so it would be a cool thing to have i suppose :P thanks for the suggestion
