I have three monitors running under a 7970, normally it isn't a problem opening task manager using ctrl+shift+esc as it opens the task manager in my default (center) screen. However, if some gaming application crashes (on my default screen), I'm unable to execute the unresponsive task because I can no longer click on the task manager in my center monitor.
