If you are trying to put it on a monitor other than the center one, or using AMD, I don't know where to look. But if you have an Nvidia card, I have a triple monitor setup too and I don't think I had to do anything special to make single-screen games come up on the center monitor.

First I configured my Nvidia Surround to span the three monitors. After configuring Surround, in the Nvidia control panel under "Set up multiple displays" I see it's looking at all three monitors as a single display, with the number "1" in the center. That's it.

Do you have other games that don't scale well and need to be played on a single monitor? Are they coming up on the same screen as COH2, or is COH2 the only bad boy?

If you don't find a conventional way of doing it you can try running it in windowed mode then using autohotkey to relocate the window. There is info on how to do it in the "setting up the game" section here:

here is the solution.

apparently coh2 automatically plays on the PRIMARY display. it does not care the # of the monitor (or identity of the monitor).

so i made my middle monitor my primary, and then unlocked my taskbar. moved my taskbar to a secondary monitor. re-locked my taskbar. done.
