just some odd characteristics of the -fse or Full Screen 'Exclusive' mode...
or so i thought...
turns out there's just an invisible box overlaying the other screen in a 2 monitor system when running fse..
i noticed if you alt-tab,[you won't see the normal dialog] the other screen now works! and gbpvr is still in full screen mode! :eek:
specially handy when it locks up on ya..
there's also a cute little 'invisible box' overlaying the screen opposite gbpvr, and if you alt-tab to other screen, then click on gbpvr in task-bar, you'll see it...move your mouse over there to the very bottom and drag up, you'll see underneath...
it reveals the programs current live state..
it isn't just one big window covering both monitors, cuz i moved it up and mine are side-by-side....had no effect on gbpvr, and it ran smoothly just like it doesn't in regular vmr9 mode...so musta been in fse still..
that coupled with my 'don't need focus' remote, lets me use both screens at once with the benefit of fse..
Sub, just thought you might be able to use some of this info to maybe make it not take over the other monitor by default..
at least it's a way to kill gb when it's acting up..
