Win7, blank screen, additional monitor

[boudicca]

Win7, windowed mode eq on my main screen.
I have an extra USB monitor, Mimo 710s. I have the drivers up to date on it.
I have the second, small monitor accessable by having my mouse go off the right side of my main screen. However, sometimes for some unexplained reason, in the control panel, Win7 thinks the 2nd monitor is accessed off the bottom of the screen.

If I'm playing eq when I go into the control panel to move where the "location" of the 2nd monitor to the right side main screen, my windowed eq window blanks out entirely. I stay logged in, and I can "hear" stuff still going on in eq. I can't get the windowed eq to "unblank", clicking the X in the upper right will not close the process, however it CAN be minimized. To close out of eq, I must use the task manager.

This isn't a terribly big deal. I can just remember to check the placement of the 2nd monitor before I start playing eq, if I'm going to use it. I don't put anything eq related in that second monitor.

I've had all kinds of bizarre errors with DisplayLink.

Thanks for giving me one more reason to avoid anything that relies on it.

You cant play fullscreen with dual monitors.

On my main monitor is a single instance of windowed EQ. On my secondary monitor I put itunes' miniplayer and pidgin.

Old timey EQ seems to be the only program that gets confused so far.

When adjusting the placement of my Mimo 710s USB monitor using Windows 7, I occasionally encounter a frustrating issue: my windowed EQ game on the main screen unexpectedly blanks out, even though the game remains active in the background. To navigate around this issue, I've adopted a workaround of verifying the second monitor's configuration prior to launching EQ, effectively preventing the disruption from occurring. This scenario underscores the critical need for stable and reliable monitor configurations, particularly in environments where uninterrupted performance is essential, such as gaming and industrial applications.
