Does anyone know why this crashes when I have two screens attached (provided the second is marked as a extended desktop)and how to fix it?

Nope, I have been using LE on a dual monitor setup for years, never crashed because of it. What are you actually doing to make it crash?

Seems to be fine provided I don't boot with two monitors, then extend the other one when I am logged in. I honestly don't know what makes it crash

Does it crash right when you start it up is that what you mean?

PS. Mod Forum ftw imo tbh.

When I load a mod, it crashes at that "Initilizing render engine" or... somthing along the lines of that, goes too quickly for me to remeber.
Not mod fourm, since I'm not modding anything

Do you have the actual window spanned across both screens? I doubt it would make a difference, but if you do try doing it with LE just on the one screen at a time.

Also make sure your graphics settings in WWConfig are correct, and that you have chosen a renderer that your graphics card is capable of rendering.

Yeah, it is just isolated to one screen only.

Your not using any fancy third party dual monitor software are you? Such as ATI Hydravision? Those things tend to try and inject code into applications or mess with their titlebars and that could cause issues with LE...

Level editor is easily destabilized, it could have been other things besides the monitor setup as well, I find level editor will often crash if you do too much stuff with it in a short time...

I use Ultramon(which is a dual monitor managing program, which I love Razz) and have not had one problem with it towards using LE, like Jerad said LE is fairly unstable.

I'm not using any programs for dual monitor setup.
However, they are in 2 different resolutions.

Well that's your test right there. Lower the monitor with the higher resolution to max to other one and see if you get the same crash.

The program Level Edit is pretty old I think and it probably doesn't support two screens support.

Don't use two different resolutions then? If LE crashes you will probably find other programs do too if they implement their graphics system in a similar way.
