when i start the game the other monitor colors change and look like crap are they anyway to play starcraft with two monitors and not have a monitor mess up? color wise. and i wanted to be able to play with both monitors one is for recording only.
I'm not familiar with the StarCraft settings, but I believe if you set the game's screen resolution and colour depth to match the settings in Windows, then the second monitor shouldn't be affected when the game launches.
Hope that helps!

I don't have StarCraft handy, but there should be a Settings menu in the game, and you'd likely find the Screen Resolution and Colour Depth settings under the Video Settings in the game.
You can find the screen resolution for your monitor by right-clicking the Desktop, and choosing the Screen Resolution option. If you're running Windows 7, the colour depth is likely 32bpp.

Ok, sorry to hear that it didn't work out! I don't think DisplayFusion is the solution you're looking for, as this may just be an issue with Starcraft since it's an older game.
At any rate, we can certainly refund your purchase! Just let me know!

if we cant get it to working soon ill let you know looks like there was a lot of others who want this to work for games and it didn't after looking at this post http://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/play-game-on-one-monitor-surf-netemail-etc-on-other/?ID=d273d9de-3d06-411d-ab8d-8f85a0e3081d
Ok no worries, just let me know.
We're still working on the issue in the other thread, but I think it's different than the one you're running into, as yours sounds like it's an issue with the screen resolution of StarCraft being different from your desktop's screen resolution.

yeah both monitors will clone and work with the game but extending it mess color up. So if i can get a refund please go ahead and do that if you get it working in the future just drop me a email and I'll purchase it again. Thanks
No problem, the refund has been processed, so you should see it come through shortly.
Happy holidays!
