Multiple Monitor Problem

[cianos]

Hello,

With a GeForce 6600 with two monitors enabled, both in XP as 1024/768, when Civ IV launches, it full windows in monitor number 1.

However when I try to scroll to the right, which bleeds to monitor number 2, it wont scroll that direction.

In order to be able to scroll I needed to disable the second monitor in XP, so the full window would have an edge to scroll against.

Either a feature oversite, or a bug. AOE III does not behave the same way in full screen mode, either does Flight Simulator 2004 for that matter.

Cheers

Cian

I had similar problems including game crashing until someone showed me what to change in the init. file to force the game to install in a window --- do a search for the thread I started yesterday for the details of how to do it.

fullscreen = YES/NO/ASK

choose 'no' for always windowed, 'yes' for always fullscreen, or 'ask' for a popup when you boot the game asking you.

There are also the height and width parameters that you can add in so the window comes up the same everytime without the need to change window size -- someone indicated in another thread that changing the window size on the screen after the game had booted caused other problems but cannot remember the details.
