Why can I not load other games while playing FFXI?

[Arim]

Hi I've tried a few times while camping kings to load another game that doesn't require too much RAM or CPU power so I have something keep me occupied, however everything I try loading something like starcraft my FFXI windower crashes.

There is no way my computer can't handle two games, especially old ones like FFXi and SC so is this a windower issue where if you load another game into full screen is crashes or is there something else going on?

Starcraft forces your resolution to 640x480 and theres no window mode for that but you can alt tab.

FFXI doesn't like it when your resolution get changed, even with the windower loaded.

My suggestion is to have the games you're trying to run with ffxi running on a fixed rez, windowed. Like your desktop res is 1280x1024, ffxi can be 800x600 and your other games 800x600 as well and have them load windowed and not full screen.

Ok, thanks for the response, appreciate it Zigma

add a -window to your warcraft 3 link and itll play in windowed mode. nothing like some tower defense between windows

Haha yea, I mostly play SNES roms while waiting but there's only so many times you can beat megaman X1-3 before it gets old . I found a few SC custom campaigns that fans set after the ending of BW and its completely revived my love for SC.
