Followup to disabled secondary monitor getting scrambled picture

P

PM

Just in case anyone else had the same problem (quoted below):
================
I have two monitors (a 20.1" LCD on the left as the primary and a 17"
CRT on the right as the secondary). In Windows 2D mode, I have this set
up as an extended desktop. However, I only want the 20.1" LCD to be
active when playing a game.

I have no probem disabling the second monitor in Windows, but once it
launches into 3D mode, I get a scrambled/blotchy image on the secondary
monitor. Why in the world is my card outputting to a monitor that is
disabled??

I have the Catalyst 8.273.0.0 drivers from July. Anyone know what the
hell is going on? Thanks!
================

I upgraded to the newest driver and catalyst control panel, and reset
all the catalyst control center settings to default since they had
carried over. I saved a profile with the extended desktop enabled, and
another with it disabled. I mapped a hotkey command to each, and it
works flawlessly! It even remembers the window positioning, which
Windows does not do by default. Very cool program by the folks at ATI!
