just put a second monitor next to my main 20" monitor i use for gaming. the plan is to use the big monitor for games and the small one for winamp, vent, msn etc whilst in game. is there a program which would move the cursor from the gaming monitor to the other one without having to tab out of game??

You would have to play your desired game in windowed mode.

Right click the and then click properties, then at the "target" box (basically the shortcut) ad " -window"  to the end. Without quotation marks of course.

Edit: For Bf2, you'll have to change +Fullscreen 1 to +Fullscreen 0.

I really, really wish. But it isn't possible I'm afraid, at least at the moment. I'd recommend to any dual screener to use a program called Ultramon - it's a taskbar for your second monitor and it's brilliant.
