Minimizing game screens
02.12.04 at 21:38:10

I play a novalogic game caled F16...when Im in the game I cant minimize the game so as to check the ip's of the other gamers in my rooms...(to boot cheaters)...I know the big answer is to run a seperate PC and host the game on a network, then enter my own game through a second PC...but is there a way or a program available that allows the game to continue while yet minimized?...as of now if I hit my windows button to minimize the game my whole PC locks up..

Yes F16 MRF=multi-role-fighter...made by Novalogic....

I assume your using a voodoo card?,....If so in the game options you must have the 3d acceleration enabled for the voodoo card to run right...Im wondering if possible you minimizing is working because you dont have that enabled...??

On a side note, I notice you quote Ecclesiastes 3:1 in your sigline...what version is that?

KJV says ; Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

Hammer Ex Member	Re: Minimizing game screens Reply #8 - 09.12.04 at 01:22:07 none of the above works with this game...when the game starts the monitor goes black for a second and then it switches into a different mode or something....minimizing the game without the 3d acceleration is no problem...its after that when I cant minimize....

No Ive never done a dual OS partition...I have the gigs for it but just not that big a deal right now because Im still wanting a 2nd PC with just Win 98 and a 5500.....Anytime I use the windows logo key the PC locks up ...so I guess its because of XP and the drivers...But Patience, thank you so much for your continued help!....

One of my Favs Patience;
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
