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!

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... Smiley)
 
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...)
