[Help] Bf2 editor won't work with second monitor

[spooks2k1]

Hi guys I'm looking into map making for PR, but stalling at the first hurdle ,

I just followed this tutorial....

https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f189-m ... dding.html

But BF2 Editor UI is practically unusable, and after setting up the editor it took ages to read all the files, I killed the process after about 30 mins.

What rigs are you running the Editor on ? I don't think my POS PC is up to it, or maybe I'm missing something important ?

thx

you can find my rig in my profile

Hmmm I don't even come close to your specs, nice pc btw
I'm having to use my old backup PC for the foreseeable future due to system failure...

P4 3.4ghtz
2 gig memory
ATI X850

ops:

It just about plays PR on low settings, Maybe I'm just good for statics for now.

the editor cant handle more then 2GB RAM

im not a computer specialist so i dunno what to say to your core

I came across this in my initial researching map making....

Maybe of use to some ? No use to me, but says you can use up to 3GB and solves crashing for some.

I'll keep hammering at the editor, now I know the 2GB mem is not a problem, it lies elsewhere.

Thanks for the info.

Well I disabled my second monitor and it works perfectly now

Not sure how to set this thread to resolved.

ummm, I've been using the BF2 Editor with dual monitors for years now, although with Windows XP and Windows XP x64 and never had a problem?

I am using dual monitors and the editor on vista and win 7 and never had a problem

maybe its something with your system or videocard settings

[spooks2k1]

Yup your right , It's just that it's such a crappy system I've given up maintaining it properly.
Just re-installed the video drivers and direct X and now is working fine with 2 monitors, I need to learn to tolerate this POS more, it's served me well in the past.
