So i've just got Windows 7 installed & since trying things like dual boxing on Eve has become a real problem.

So i was just wondering if anyone has a solution for this. As i could handle swaping from screen to screen real quick in Vista, yet this new set up just seems to be a pain.

How do i get seperate icons for each instant of eve i load up.

ArrowRight click the task bar
ArrowProperties
ArrowTaskbar Buttons: Never Combine

Or become proficient with Alt-Tab.

Utilize the secondary monitor output on your GPU.

Been running Win7/64 since it was released, anywhere between one and three (yes, three monitors) Eve clients at the same time. No issues whatsoever.

Thanks for playing.

Keep both clients open at the same time, lol. Are you minimizing them?

I can't say I've ever had a problem switching clients when they're open side by side.

If you're fullscreen, you can't see the taskbar anyways...

Not a forum alt.

As for quaaid, i would cept for i gave up on the monitor & just stuck it on the TV for extra comfort, but i am thinking bout getting a monitor again .. so yeah dual monitors would be cool as well.

Windows mode .. leaves the taskbar visable really good for multiple accounts. surfing web etc etc.
