I am currently playing a game (Duke Nukem Megaton edition) using two monitors in this configuration:
game (full screen) on one screen and on the other I keep a guide with all the secrets so sometimes I switch back/forth to scroll down/change page or simply answer to skype messages
usually this works fine with AMM with lots of games I have tried so far, but there are some (including Duke Nukem) that seem to lock mouse on the main screen no matter what
Windows deactivation works (in fact if I press Alt+Tab the game keeps running without minimizing) but instead "lock mouse" does not respond
I have also tried "move mouse to next monitor", I can see the small animation that should indicate my mouse pointer appears on the other screen but still my mouse is in the main screen
are there any workaround/settings I can try ?
I am using AMM 8.0.3

Hello Cesare,
Thanks for the post.
Both "Ignore deactivation" and "Lock mouse" hotkeys don't work with the version of Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition I've downloaded.
Could you provide me a download link for the version of Duke Nukem you have?

Thanks for your feedback Vasily
here is the version I am using
in my case Ignore deactivation works, in fact if I press alt+tab the game does not minimize (windows start button + taskbar appear down below covering a small part of the screen) and, in order to return to game, I have to press with mouse pointer on Duke Nukem or press again Alt+tab
Instead if I "re-activate deactivation" game minimizes by pressing Alt+Tab so I assume it is working
instead mouse pointer is locked
for example if, when playing, you press ESC then you see game menu appearing on the screen (New game/Load Game/Options/etc.)
you can see mouse pointer but it doesn't move outside
I have tried with all the different combinations of mouse lock + move mouse to next monitor but it doesn't work
not even pressing Alt+Tab (when window deactivation is on): you can see windows start button + taskbar but you can move mouse pointer outside
if you need I can take some screenshots to show you better, just let me know
I am using AMM 8.0.3 + Windows 7 64 bit
PS: I have voted for Steam Greelight for Actual Multiple Monitors and I see it has been accepted. Will we be able to convert our license to a key to activate this on Steam ?

Thanks Vasily
regarding your last question:
I have seen Actual Multiple Monitor on Steam Greenlight
and, after having been voted by a big number of people, it has been greenlit so it will be available on Steam
my question is:
I have a license for AMM and I would like to know if I will be able to have a Steam key for this program as well when it will be available. It's not really top priority for me, just I like that Steam keeps all games "registered" so you don't have to store key/licence and, even in a catastrophic event of a hd failure or simply after you format your pc, you can recover everything very easily

Cesare,
The Steam build of Actual Multiple Monitors will have another type of registration codes.

This is exactly what I would like to avoid, since I keep different email accounts so I will have to manually check to understand which one I have used for which program
I like Steam for this reason, because everything is registered: in case you format/use another pc you only need to download Steam client, log in and all the programs/games are already there
you don't even need to go to every website and retrieve the activation code
it's not a big deal really, but if I can keep everything under Steam it's a plus for me
have you thought about an "upgrade option" ? Customers would pay a small fee and they can renew existing license + obtaining a Steam activation code

Cesare,
Let's discuss this question when Actual Multiple Monitors will be available on Steam.
