My computer has been set up to work with a steering wheel. The main monitor is used for the wheel, a secondary monitor is used for ordinary tasks when I'm lying down. To switch between my two monitors, I use Windows display properties, setting the other monitor active and primary, and disabling the current monitor. That neatly pushes everything on my desktop to the other monitor. Unfortunately, apparently the SecuROM protection sees that as an attempt to pirate the software. -- The first big front wheel rollerblades. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2565924423/ Google Groups is destroying the USENET archive.

What a load of old shit. And for all these wanky security programs, you can still get cracked copies of fucking everything!

I guess that helps us to tell the real men from the little boys.

Not sure if the following stuff works with SecuROM protected versions. I might check that too (like if I'm not having enough fun with the stuff that works and I feel like messing with it). ... my big monitor is connected to video card output number one (as shown in Windows display properties) ... just uninstalling the game did not work, I had to delete Windows and replace it with a hidden copy of Windows (most people would have to reinstall Windows) ... yes, installed the game using the big monitor as primary Apparently if the big monitor is switched back to primary, things work. Otherwise I get a big red OUT OF RANGE error. -- The first big front wheel rollerblades. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2565924423/

Luckily gamecopyworld provides plenty of servers so was able to get the real file from another server.
