Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to play a game in full screen mode on one monitor and still be able to use the second monitor without having to ALT-TAB to get to the other window. ie, if I play a game in windowed mode, the mouse cursor is able to move from 1 monitor to the other without a problem. But if I am in fullscreen mode on the primary monitor, I can still see the second monitors content but cannot move my mouse cursor to that monitor without alt-tabbing.

Is this possible with 3rd party software?

Not that i know of. If you find something, let me know :D

The best option for now is using windowed "maximised" or "no border".
The games in the Orange Box allow you to do this by adding -windowed 1 -noborder to the launch options.

WoW has a 'maximised' check box.

Only ones that come to mind right now.
You'll have to discover the methods on a game-by-game basis.
