2nd Monitor while gaming

[shoe59]

Hello --

I am having a slight problem:

I like to have my monitoring programs open on my 2nd monitor while I play games -- AI Suite II, GPU Tweak, Steam Friends List etc.

While playing Shadow of Mordor (only game I've had this problem with), AI Suite II will not stay on the 2nd display; when the game starts the screen flashes and then AI Suite II automatically pops back onto my primary display getting hidden behind the game screen.

I can't monitor my CPU temp and fan speeds etc. If anyone knows a trick to get around this I would very much appreciate it, thank you! Also, Steam friends list and GPU Tweak stay put and this is only happening to the one program.

I tried switching the main taskbar to my 2nd monitor, locking it there. Did not solve my problem
