Title: How do you switch user on windows vista without messing up anthem
Post by: Tonedeff on December 04, 2009, 01:23:07 am

If you switch user on windows vista, or even use ctrl+alt+delete it makes the anthem ro screen completely white/invisible. now the game is still running but you cant play. like say for example i put up my shop, switch user, come back, open a second client and log into a second account, my shop will still be running with the now completely white anthemro window. but i want to find out a way to actually see the window, if there a way at all.

Use windowed RO and alt tab.

That does not help. even a little. if i use windowed RO (which i always have) and alt tab to the firefox screen and switch user like that, then switch back to windowed RO, it will still be inaccessible

I've yet to figure out how to accomplish switching users/opening something that requires conformation/ect on Vista without having my ro screen spaz on me. I really just don't think there is a way.. correct me if I'm wrong though.

Well, there basically isn't much to do. I have the same thing in most cases. Whenever I switch to some other fullscreen application or something that makes the monitor switch resolutions/screens RO locks up.

That's because the desktop uses DX10 it no longer use old graphic interface there fore whenever you switch users or when UAC pops up it becomes black. Unless somehow RO becomes DX10 then there is really no fix to it... You should be glad that the game works with newer windows...
