    windower dualbox

    ok so i did a fast look around and did not find anything. when i load 2 windowers its hit or miss if both will stay up. the 1st one 9 times out of 10 will crash when i load it, and the other 1/10 it will crash in under 15min... anyone no why? its a fairly good comp

    runs on windows XP media center edition(and i have had problems with windower because of this in the past)

    Best idea would be to jump into the windower IRC channel and ask there

    Turn down all your video card settings (not ffxi's) and then try.

    Hmm but I still don't think you would need to turn down graphics in order to make it work is what I'm saying, I'm no expert but I'm 99% sure of this.

    /facepalm
    It's still a common issue with dual boxing, dont ride it off without trying it.

    My friend has a better gfx card than me, and he has to turn down the settings for dual boxing to work.

    Just because it works/doesnt work for another, doesnt mean it cant happen to you.

    If it turns out that it doesnt work and im wrong, so be it, but you have to be willing to try anything.

    Does your POL start in full screen? I find that it crashes my current window of FFXI if it does. So I had to turn it off.
