O.P. Dual monitor issues with full screen gaming
Ive got a dual monitor setup (24" widescreen as main and a 19" next to it) and when I play games, since I have the game resolution set to something different to my desktop resolution, my screen resolution obviously changes (on my main monitor)

The problem is, this screws up everything on my desktop and like pushes them out and changes the places of things such as widgets.

This ss is of in the game, where you can see that half my screen ahs been pushed over (firefox starts like 1/3 the way through the second monitor)

And this is what happens when I quit the game:

Is there any way to like temporarily disable the second monitor (without turning it off physically or wrecking anything on that screen) so that this doesnt happen? Im using Ultramon, but I havent found a way to do it in that =/

Thanks
