I don't know first hand but I've heard people have had issues with fullscreen eve defaulting to the first monitor only w/o options to change that.

on my dual view setup I had a problem where if an EVE client was off the primary screen, it lagged to ****.
but someone explained that at least there SHOULD be an option on eve's settings as though there were 2 video cards, (same name... but 2 copies of it) and if you set it to the other, it'll work fine on the second monitor(but not on the primary)
but I've heard that this doesn't universally work, but only on some cards.
I've done it with both, on separate monitors now that i got that adjustment made, and it works very nicely.

That's because ATI cards (at least the 9x00 series, possibly others) don't support hardware acceleration on two monitors at all.

I am not having problems putting them on either screen.
Only 1 Client will show up at a time and I need to alt tab between them.
I would like to be to see the other client along with use both of them (Move mouse from one to another) without it minimizing when I select the second one.
I need help with an answer.

So you have two monitors from the same computer, same clients and you can move your mouse from one to the other and click on it and use it and move your mouse over to the other one and use it to, all in full screen?

No, I believe that is completely impossible under Windows. Windows only supports one active full screen app at a time.
You can do that with both in windowed mode, but only with an nVidia graphics card, and you will still have to click to activate the window.

Unless there is some feature to do this in the nVidia/ATI drivers (which I doubt), the answer to your question is probably "Cedega under Linux."

Poncho, forgive me, for I'm going on memory, and haven't actually done this recently.
I believe that if you have a dual-monitor setup, and run EVE full screen on one display, it will minimize if you click something else. By extension, the same will happen if you try to run two EVE clients at full screen.
As Dark said, Windows just hasn't "caught up" with the concept of dual displays, and assumes if one app is full screen, it needs to minimize to show you the other app you've clicked and put into focus. This applies even if the maximized app is on a separate display.
One thing I can check out for you is whether Grismar's fantastic little utility, ShiftWindow, can allow you to run two EVE clients on two displays, full-screen, without having a minimize occur if you click one of the screens.
His utility runs EVE in a window (at your desktop resolution), but shifts the window so the title bar and border are off the display area. It's really running in a window, but looks like it's running full screen. I can picture two EVE clients running just fine this way.

Alright this sounds good thanks for the help I will look it up too.
I should be able to run it the way I have it now, I have a 6600GT with 2 outputs so windows detects it as two differnt display cards.

I guess I'm a bit preoccupied with current events in EC. I misread this on my first pass as "with 2 outposts".

Works the same as having to Graphics Cards.

Thats kind of like saying a Pentium 4 with hyperthreading is the same as having two processors...

Errr... Dude its nothing like it.
Hyperthreading is nothing like having 2 processors.....
And having two outputs is like having two graphics cards.
Windows detects it as two graphics adapters meaning everything I do I have a choice to run on which window.
I can run eve on my graphics settings of "Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT" and it has another just bellow it exactly the same, one does one output and the other does the other output.

I heard about that. though in my case its a nVida that I hadn't tweaked EVE to work properly on the separate screens.

actually full screen? I don't think so, but you can have it at full size screen resolution on each and have one on each, if you have the proper hardware.
honestly the distinction between "real" full screen, and "full screen windowed" is marginal, ... but maybe that frame really bothers some people. my first MMO didn't even HAVE a true full screen option, >_<

ouch... but too true. ... and like that, you don't want to know how many people think hyperthreading means its like dual processors,

its not EXACTLY like having 2 cards... but you can kinda-sorta treat it like it is.
in my case I have a 7800GT, set up in dual view(as opposed to double wide or double high)
in EVE's graphics settings, theres a spot where you pick the video card... well with this setup, at least for me... as I was told it would, it shows the video card twice. the second option was for the second monitor. as it was, if the client, when set on the default option, (for primary monitor) when put on secondary monitor... it'd lag to crap. adjusting that setting... allowed it to function on the secondary instead.
follow? but, it seems like (as said about windows's quirks) it can only run ONE client in full screen mode. but its ok with 2 clients in full desktop-resolution windows, (when each is tweaked to run properly on that monitor)

ive run eve on 2-5 monitor setups and an above poster is correct, its because windows minimizes any full screen program that loses focus
as for the description of grismar's program, i can manually drag an eve window up and there are only a few pixels of white line at the top that remain in the viewing area
for dark shakiri's comment about ATI cards, the ATI card i have in this pc has no problem with acceleration on 2 monitors

Um...yeah they do. You just have to select the other 'card' in the eve settings. Works fine.
Press Esc, go to graphics settings. Under the Display Adapter setting, there will be 2 listed, one for each monitor, although figuring out which is which is a bit of a bummer, because they have the same name.
As for running both in fullscreen, thats not possible, sorry. Windows doesn't support it. You can do false fullscreen in eve, where you put it in windowed mode, and put the resolution the same as your desktop. Just make sure that neither of the windows cross over to the other monitor, because that will kill performance.
