Is there dual monitor support in EVE? I have 2 monitors and every time I click on my second monitor (IE to do email or something else) my game window minimizes. Can this be prevented? It would also be nice if my second monitor could be used to house in game popup windows (IE Chat, Inventory, etc.).

You are probably posting in the wrong section for this kind of help ...

But if you put EVE into windowed mode rather than fullscreen (alt-enter will do this, or there is a setting) you won't have that problem.

use windowed fullscreen or whatever the option is

If the screens are the same size, you can used the "fixed window" setting I think its called and hanve it set to a resolution that covers both. You can set it so the client is anchored in the left screen, and it extends to the one on the right, duno about 3 or more screens though

select display adapter (if your using one card, it will show as the same graphics card but just given a 0, 1 or 2 if you got 3 monitors) and then select which monitor you want the client to run on. then instead of playing as fullscreen, run it under fixed window (it will remove the toolbars and such) select resolution (generally the bottom selection is the max for that monitor) and done, you can move your cursor onto the other monitors and click around without the game minimizing
