I have been using MultiMon for all of about two minutes, but already I like it. I'm new to Windows, having spent ten years working on Macs.
My particular feature request is a result of my, perhaps perculiar, configuration. My Athlon does not want to boot Windows, or Linux, for that matter, when the BIOS has set AGP as primary. Therefore I am forced to set my PCI video card as primary. The PCI card is the less functional of the two, but at least both OSs boot correctly.
But when I want to play a game, I most often need to turn off the secondary monitor. However since my secondary (AGP) card is a Voodoo3 3000, and my primary (PCI) card is an ATI Rage Pro, I would like to be able to turn off the primary monitor and run the secondary monitor.
Is this possible?
regards,

Not with Windows 98, you'll have to get Windows 2000 for this. With Win2000, you can set any monitor as primary, independent of BIOS settings. And you can change the primary monitor without having to reboot.
What you could try: create two hardware profiles, one with both cards enabled, the other with only the Voodoo3 enabled. You could then reboot and select the single-monitor profile to play a game. If it works in your case is another question, seeing that you have problems booting the AGP as primary.
