Enable Second Monitor Without Rebooting (Windows XP)

There must be a way to do this without restarting. I have a projector hooked up as my secondary monitor, and if I don't turn it on before turning my computer on, it doesn't show up in the Display Properties. I can access it through the nVidia drivers, but I can only do a clone, which doesn't...

Linux: Frozen game with input focus == reboot?

sourceninja: ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work, either. n0cmonkey: I'll get back to you on that -- don't have the machine on at the moment.

Linux: Frozen game with input focus == reboot?

Well, thanks for the input. If I could get SSH working, it would suffice. I wish developing on linux didn't always end up being such a miserable experience. I always end up loathing every moment of it.

Linux: Frozen game with input focus == reboot?

For some reason when I try to ssh to it, I get this: Server responded "No further authentication methods available.". This seems like kind of a bass ackwards approach. What if I don't have it hooked to the network or another computer available to ssh to it?

Linux: Frozen game with input focus == reboot?

Ok, this is getting really old. I'm trying to debug a 3D game based off of Quake2. The problem is, all the input is going to the game -- mouse, keyboard, everything. When the game crashes, and gdb waits for me to do something, I can't. I can't alt-tab, I can't click on another window, I...

I miss BF2...

Pretty much nails most of the major issues with BF2. A couple things you missed, though: 10. You have to have the DVD in the drive to play a multi-player only game that requires a legit key to even play online? WTF? Thank goodness for mini-images. 11. Ridiculously long time to connect to...

BF2 won't run after Video Card upgrade.

I had a similar problem when I tried to run BF2 on my projector. I just assumed it was because it didn't like that resolution. Are you running in a different resolution than you were before? Perhaps try changing your desktop resolution to something more standard (like 1024x768) just to see if...

THIS is the game that will sell PS3's (video)

The graphics look nice, but the game play looks kind of frustrating and boring. It honestly looked more like a physics tech demo than a game to me. Anybody notice all the little glitches? Like their arms would stretch out really funny and their heads would pop off and bobble sometimes --...

IPPROTO_TCP vs IPPROTO_IP

I have a server browser that downloads a list of server ip's from a website. It works fine for most people, but some individuals are having problems -- getting error codes like "WSAECONNABORTED". I whipped up a test app with libCURL, and that works, but I'm trying to keep the bloat down as...

XP Reboots on Boot

Well, I managed to copy some dll files and stuff around on my old install and get it up and running again. Thank goodness. Took over 2 hours just to get a test install up to the point where I could try BF2. I was not looking forward to reinstalling 150+ games/tools/applications/etc.

XP Reboots on Boot

I haven't tried running recovery on it. I'm installing windows on another drive just to make sure it works at the moment. If it does, I'll make a backup and try running recovery. And no, I don't overclock.

XP Reboots on Boot

Well, crap. I guess the OS is at least part of the issue. I put the drive in another machine and it did the same thing. I think the last set of windows updates screwed it up. I don't suppose there's a nice way to avoid having to reinstall and configure hundreds of programs and games and...

XP Reboots on Boot

SagaLore: Windows doesn't boot, so I can't tell you what Device Manager says. The cables are rounded. I could change them, but I doubt it would make a difference since they haven't caused any issues before. I can't find any kind of "bursting" setting in my bios. Does it go by a different...

why are faces blurred in dreams?

Alonelymuffin: I once had a weird dream and woke up and told my parents about it, but was actually still dreaming, then I woke up and told my friends about it, and then I woke up ... As for faces, I don't think mine have been blurred, but like 91TTZ, faces (and pretty much everything for that...

XP Reboots on Boot

Edit: sisq0kidd: I can't get windows to boot, so I can't run cmd. When I booted knoppix, it saw the drives and data just fine. I just tried swapping the ide connections around as well as unplugging all my other drives. It still reboots as windows is loading.
