Hi, I used to be able to run two screens of sl on my pc but ever since downloading the new version I am unable to do so. Has anyone else found this? and if you have is there maybe another way of working it? I found it useful for trying out animations without having to ask a friend to help out. I originally managed to do this by using the directions in Torleys tip of the week, i have tried following the instructions again but to no avail. All help greatly appreciated :)

I'm pretty sure each time you download a new version, you need to go through the process of changing that code line which you did in the first place. Each new version replaces the old one, so anything you've changed is now gone.

Could be wrong, but I think not. Anyone else?

Rightclick the shortcut to SL and select Properties and add
-multiple
at the end of the "Target:" line.

That is, *at the end, outside the the quotes*. It is a parameter, not a part of the file name, so it must be outside the quotes. For some reason, this always seem to trip people up.
And yes, you need to do this to your shortcut with every new version, as the shortcut is overwritten as part of the install.
