E-Prime on one screen / something else on the other

[Paul Groot]

This is possible, but I would strongly advise not do do this. There are
several issues when running another application on the foreground on a
second display:

1) EPrime uses a non-colaborative display mode (DirectX). Any mouse or
keyboard activity on the second screen will cause E-Run to crash. You can
easily verify this. Also, the desktop of the second screen often shifts
offscreen when E-Run changes display modes.

2) Timing could become an issue because EPrime fiddles with the application
priorities and windows scheduler to increase timing accuracy. The other
program might respond slow.
