Anyone use dual monitors?

Ive recently set up dual monitors on my PC using both the VGA and DVI outputs on my ATI X800 card which works really well and makes multi tasking a whole lot nicer.

One thing I'd love to be able to do though is to have a full screen application like a game open on my primary monitor but have MSN in the second window (which I can do) but be able to somehow tab between them.

At the moment if I move to the second monitor and click my email send/receive button or click into an MSN conversation the game on my primary monitor returns to desktop.

Is this possible ?

I don't think it is possible. The only way I know of is to run the game in a window..

I think you need to be playing the game in windowed mode but don't know how many games support this. I've had Championship Manager on in windowed mode and can move from that to another app fine but not seen it/tried it with anything else.
