Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Is it possible to run two programs in the forground?

Hello I recentally bought a new computer and with it two moniters hoping to use this program to run two forground windows one on each moniter.
I was wondering if this is possible.

EX: Having a chat program on the secondary moniter and watching a video on the secondary screen, I want to be able to go over to the chat program with-out the video downsizing from fullscreen.

EX: I am an avid gamer and I liek to game while chatting, I have figured out how to have the mouse leave the game window(which is in fullscreen) and have it on the secondary moniter and put it back without problem, the problem occurs when I say click on one of the windows on the secondary moniter the fullscreen window minimizes, is it possible to prevent this?

i do appologize if this has been asked before.

UltraMon won't help with this.

The video issue depends on the video player, for example recent versions of Windows Media Player will stay in fullscreen mode when you activate another application.

And for running a game on one one moniter and having a chat window open on the other is there any way to prevent the game from minimizing when I click on the chat window?
If ultramon can't help with this do you know of any program that can?

I do appologize if this has been asked before.

Usually the only way to do this is to run the game in windowed mode if supported.

I'm not aware of any application which prevents games from minimizing when they lose the focus.
