I want to use the MDC/CAD system at lcpdfrhq.com on my second monitor while I play LCPDFR on my primary. Problem is, If I alt-tab with GTA IV in fullscreen, I crash as soon as I try to reenter GTA. I tried a program called Windowed Borderless Gaming, Dual Monitor Tools, and even Display Link's Multiple Monitor Tools which apparently works great for everyone except me.

 

I also tried running GTA IV in windowed mode, but the cursor is always locked which brings up the alt-tab problem again.

 

Anyone know of a way to get this to work? Or even better: anyone using LCPDFR:HQ have a method to use?

usually its fine with me but sometimes it crashes

Pause the game first and alt-tabbing should work fine. Also, LCPDFR (well, advancedhook) has a built-in feature that lets you switch the game to windowed mode. Just press alt-enter while in game and you should be able to alt-tab without any problems.

Pausing the game first does nothing. The game always crashes if I alt-tab, even without LCPDFR started. It doesn't crash immediately, but when I click on the icon on the task bar to open it up again. I tried the alt-enter trick and it worked, but the game still minimized when I clicked another window.
