I was wondering if there is a way to see my bottom command bar ( start menu etc ) while playing a game that takes up the full screen, there for allowing me to use programs such as internet explorer and aim while playing a full screen game, as a second window. for example i could be playing a computer game but still be able to have aim or internet explorer as a 2nd screen while playing the game. if anyone knows please reply : ) thank you.

Some games allow this and some dont. You can try ALT+TAB or ALT+ENTER. These commands simply minimize the application and dont necessarily give it its own window. You can also try right clicking the .exe or desktop shortcut icon and goto properties and mess with window settings from the drop down menu. Have the lambs stopped crying Clarice?

You could play the game in a window instead of full screen?

some games allow you to press the windows icon on the keyboard, this works nicely if it works with that game.
