Switching While Gaming ( Full Screen )

from Stardock Forums
I use Vista as my primary machine and an XP Pro box as my secondary. I've been told by another user that they have had no problem using Multiplicity to play a Full Screen Game and mousing over to the secondary machine. This was the whole reason I wanted multiplicity. Playing in windowed mode did not fix my problem either. I looked and the option to 'lock keyboard and mouse when full screen app is running' wasn't checked either. I don't know what I'm doing different from my friend. Any help?

*edit: The game in question is World of Warcraft

It really depends on if the game in question uses edge scrolling or mouselook in my experience. For such cases I lock the cursor and set a keypress to switch instead.

I tried setting a hot-key to switch and this didn't work either. My friend has had this working with WoW, so I'm not sure why I can't get it to work.

SOLUTION:

I turned off UAC on my Vista machine and everything started working perfectly. I shouldn't have had to do this because I was running multiplicity as an admin, but once I turned UAC off it all started working great!

For thoes that have an OD subscription look up the tweak vista beta to correct in the best possible way for these issues.
