How to have big box in attract mode on 1 monitor, while i just do my normal web browsing on another monitor?

When i go to my non-big box monitor, it freezes the attract mode. anyway i can have it keep doing attract mode, while i check my email for example?

This is a windows issue i'm afraid, whichever window/monitor that has focus means the other window/monitor is frozen, its just how Windows works with fulscreen applications.

Unfortunately not, thats the whole point of the Bigbox mode, fullscreen controller driven interface for couch/cabinet play. Launchbox is the windowed mode essentially.

There is no current way to run attract mode when Big Box is not the active window/application. We have code in place that makes it impossible as having the possibility could cause issues for any game that uses a launcher (ie any Steam game). Attract mode was never designed to be a second monitor screen saver like you are going for, it was designed to be the attract mode of a arcade cabinet set up (similar to the old arcade games).
