heRO On Second Monitor - betrthnu - 08-08-2007 07:17 AM

I have a quite particular problem. I use two monitors, and run heRO windowed so I can use Trillian and heRO at the same time. (it makes Alt+Tab easier and faster) I like to have Trillian on my first/main monitor, but for some reason I cannot get heRO to work on the second monitor. I get a still image. I have tried many things, and am out of options. Any support would be much appreciated

What happens if you start hero windowed on your first monitor and then drag it to the second?

Sorry I'm not too familiar with 2-screen, I only ever used one, but I've seen other people use that and it seemed to work good for them (no RO, but their work stuff).

The only suggestion I have is to play with the setup.exe I guess, but it's very possible RO doesn't support this.

I have not heard of this problem 8/ tho i often do dual screen work for playing movies, if you say ur RO freezes on the other monitor i would gather the problem could be caused by driver error, a error in setup, or possibly even an error/confliction in some codecs you have on your system...

RO Does not freeze....what is shown is a still image...once I drag it back over to the first monitor, all is well. It is almost as though RO doesn't refresh when it is on the second monitor.

Edit: I got it working. Thank you very much heROes. In settings, I used Direct 3D instead of my card for the graphics acceleration.
