How to run fullscreen apps/games on a second monit

I have a two monitor setup, I use the onboard vid card as a primary adapter and connects to a CRT, and a PCI to connect to a LCD which i would like to use as my main monitor. How do I run games like starcraft on the CRT while working on my LCD?

Unless the game in question supports running on multiple monitors (i.e. - Flight Simulator 2004), chances are you can't make it work. I have a dual setup myself (nVidia 4600 VGA/DVI running to 19" and 21" monitors). The problems I have run into is that the game in question will run on only 1 monitor. And depending on the game in question, moving the mouse into the area defined by the secondary monitor will result to dropping you back to the desktop if you click there. For some games you can alt-tab back into the game. Others will act p***y and fail to work, so you'll have to end task and restart (hope you saved before hand). Unless there is a third-party app out there that will get the job done, methinks you are SOL like myself. Hope it helps.
