Title: eccomagic_2_monitor_fix - problem - HOWTO?
Post by Lexje on 06/11/08 at 08:30:17

Hi folks,

Tried to use eccomagic_2_monitor_fix and run into following problems:
- The fix seems to be recognized as a virus by AntiVir Guard -> TR/Crypt.CFI.Gen
I suppose that the remainder of the problems follow from here..

I tried to choose ignore and click through....
Several pop-ups with the virus warning come up
Finally it seems the fix is nowhere to be seen and doesn't seem to function...

ALSO:
I seem to have lost ECCO Shooter in the process.

What can I do to work around this?
How to get the Shooter back?

Thanks for helping out!

Erwin

Just did some more testing.
Disabled AntiVir Guard.
2_monitor_fix seems to run now.
I get a butterfly icon in systray. (And lots of requests to do some Paypal exercising... :-))

Effect:
When I put Ecco on my left screen, the fix works, pop-ups rapidly flash from right-screen to left-screen situated Ecco.
!!!! When I drag Ecco window to right screen - monitor fix dissappears from systray and off course doesn't function anymore.

Shooter nowhere to be seen. Enabling/disabling from within Ecco >Tools > Options - does nothing....

Thanks for helping out!

1. Most of the tools 'hack' into the core ecco program. Some execute it's code, most hook it's keys/messages, etc. The anti-virus (and even the newer vers. of Zone Alarm) give warnings ... ie. code design looks to them like virus. (Which in way is fair-- tools are special 'ecco specific' designed virus or sorts...)

Usually have to add program to anti-virus ignore/exceptions list.

I even have to do this myself (zone alarm)....

you can report the issue to the anti-virus company (used to), but often the next version of tool, etc. goes back to triggering alerts.

2. as for ' dragging ecco window to 'right screen' = no prog. function any more ' with program running, and ecco in RIGHT side of screen, you not see popups ?

3. DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION (just updated and released based on your comments...), (it will also fix pulldown menus much nicer!).

4. have tested with shooter (new vers). Works for me! [if you having troubles with it, give more if & can take took at. Could be related to positioning of your shooter icon].

hope helps!

AND REGISTER THE TOOL FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!

(Especially since is very specialty tool...)
