[amibroker] Re: [OT] Best Quad-Video card for Vista?

Tomasz,

I'm runing 5.10.2 and I don't find that floating windows save in the
correct location when they are taken onto another monitor. I find when
reloaded they appear again within the confines of AmiBroker itself.

Am I doing something wrong...?

e.g. AB is maximised on monitor 1... I have a chart visible within AB.
I create another chart, float it, drag it over to an area of monitior
2... save this layout... load another layout, then re-load the layout
with floating window, and now the floating window is back on monitor 1
within the AB app....

Any ideas...?

Remember that DVI is superior to analog output as DVI gives maximum
sharpness.

That way single driver installation will handle both cards at once.

would be useful...perhaps one day... I think many of us are not
enjoying full Amibroker performance because its crippled by a bad
hardware setup. If you feel you are in this situation you may endorse

All I need is there is for Amibroker to place orders (through the
IBc), and the TWS to see they get to IB. I need no charts for trading.
