I know this should have been posted in some technical forum, but you guys seem to be pretty much on the ball not havin jobs and all that. Windows 8 only lets me toggle back and forth between 2 clients using the alt tab keys. This is ok when only playing 2 accounts but when I'm running 4 or 6 then it gets pretty painful.
Does anyone here know if I can change the settings somehow so that I can just keep toggling forwards with the alt tab instead of having to go back to desktop to select the toon I want?

Eh? I'm posting this while on the train to work right now.

As for Windows 8, I wish you luck. Personally I won't be changing from 7 until I absolutely have to. It ain't broke so I'm not going to fix it.

How much is a ticket from No Fixed Abode to your work? :P

Windows 8 wasn't by choice. XP has served me well for years. It seems that Microsoft borrowed a few technocrats from CCP and fixed stuff that wasn't broke.
Pfffft, I still hate this stupid inventory system but that's another issue.
What P's me most is that I only bought the darn thing cos I didn't want to wait a week for my other one to be fixed.

I'm dying here. I have 12 missions opened to be farmed and I cant do a thing without risking getting fried due to this stupid new comp.

How does win-tab work on Windows 8? Maybe you can use that?

while (CurrentSelectedTarget.Status == ShipStatus.Alive) {

     _myShip.FireAllGuns(CurrentSelectedTarget);

}

No idea why you're having trouble.

I'm using windows 8, with 3 clients, and alt tabbing between all of them comfortably.

I'm using fixed window, I've not tried it with full screen, but the fixed window option always worked better anyway.

Woo! CSM XI!

I agree that you shouldn't help me . Using company time for personal use is theft from your employer.

Even though eve changes every few months one can guarantee that forum trolls never will.

Well, given that my work is approximately 100,000 LY from New Eden I need to travel about (9.46x10^17)km each morning. This is slightly inconvenient.

Given that a return journey of about 90km each day on First Great Western railway cost roughly £1200 for a season ticket, multiplying up it costs about £(2.52x10^19) or

£25,200,000,000,000,000,000

or 25.2 Quintillion pounds sterling per year.

I'm thinking of working from home.
