Been using ISXEQ2 for awhile now. Have 3 machines I run it on with the last of the 3 being a new Alienware M17X with Windows 7 (XP was not an option). My other 2 PCs (one a desktop and the other a laptop) both run XP.
Running multiple instances of ISXEQ2 on my XP machines is a cake walk. My new Windows 7 box is totally maxxed out. I can run 5 or 6 toons easily on it from a hardware perspective.
What's different though is how my "eq windows" works. I used to run all my different ISX sessions and just leave my "primary toon" on top. Note none of my windows are full screen, they are just resized to fit most of the screen. My problem is:
1) I cannot minimize any of my eq2 sessions or they stop running, so they all need to be running what I would call "in the foreground" even if the focus is on one machine.
2) My bigger issue (and my primary gripe) is with alt-tab'ing between my EQ2 windows. On XP I could just alt tab and it would cycle focus between EQ2 sessions to the char I wanted to see. Now, however the tabbing is acting all funky and I actually have to minimize the eq2 session that has the current focus then alt tab and choose the right session to pull up.
This is all kind of hard to explain (and I'm new to Windows 7), but I'm going crazy over here just trying to get this box to run like my other two.
Any advice out there (aside from rebuilding the laptop all together with Win XP)?
Thanks
