    Somewhat relavant question.

    I have 2 PCs, but 1 monitor, is there an adapter that allows running 2 PCs and simply switching the display from one to another?

    If you have your background resolution for the game set to 2048x2048 bump it down to 1024x1024. Fixed my problems.

    Those are called KVM switches.

    a good kvm switch and the cables youll need for it are going to run you almost as much as a cheap 17 in CRT monitor, they arent ultra easy to find, but Im sure you can dig one out for 60-75 or less, or a 15in LCD will cost 120ish and do a decent job, locked at 1024x768 though, a 17 CRT will be 1280x1024

    I did consider simply buying an additional monitor, but the main problem is the limited desk space for an extra monitor. So I guess getting a KVM switch is better alternative.

    You're fucking STUPID.

    2box, lets look at the fucking word here buddy, two boxes. Ok now look around your computer area, what is shaped like a box? Uh-oh, you found it! It's your fucking tower/desktop.

    2box is when you actually fucking run 2 seperate instances of a final fantasy game, on two seperate computers; like buy two copies and pay for them. Not using a fucking windower to run two overlapping instances of the game.

    Fucking dumbass.

    I'm waiting for Zigma to post a screenshot of him having TWO windowed instances of FFXI on same monitor, while using ONE computer.

    wow, this dude just went postal on something he knows little to nothing about. People like you should just go jump off a fucking bridge your so damned retarded.

    Let me explain this somehow that even someone as dumb as you can understand.

    I have 2 accounts that I pay for monthly. I can run both those accounts at the same time on 1 pc thanks to windower. What are the shapes of those 2 screens? Square boxes, allowing me to alt-tab between characters. I posted this asking how to reduce the little lag I get when i do this.

    Dude shut the fuck up and go slit your wrists or something.
