If I do that, I get a screen shot of my whole desktop spread across three different monitors and video cards.  If you want a screenshot of a single window, Alt-PrintScreen does that.  So, we know it's not an OS-level issue since it works elsewhere.  It could be the drivers for your cards or the screen capture utils you're using.  As for games, is your primary monitor hooked up to your best video card?  For complex reasons, my primary monitor has to be hooked to one of the PCI cards in my box (it's a limitation with this HP, I don't have this issue on other boxes), so I have to make sure games start up on the monitor connected to the main video card.  I use Ultramon to get around these issues.  Specifically, it allows me to modify shortcuts so they specify the screen they launch on every time.  However, I use it mostly for the task bar it puts on the bottom of the other monitors. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spoonman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 2nd 2007 3:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSI's Mega Player 529 caught running SideShow on an auxiliary display]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/msis-mega-player-529-caught-running-sideshow-on-an-auxiliary-di/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/msis-mega-player-529-caught-running-sideshow-on-an-auxiliary-di/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seems... pointless, I dont see why this is even nessisary.<br>It sort of reminds me of the dreamcast controller screen things..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 2nd 2007 8:15PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
