Multiple Monitor Strangeness

[Lightyear]

I discovered that I basically can't play the demo; which is upsetting, because I really wanted to play.  :)  Essentially, the graphics themselves show up on the right-hand monitor, while the clicking areas are on the left-hand monitor.  I was able to locate enough of the buttons to get to the point of selecting my local access point, but then couldn't locate London, and can't get any further.

Strange; because I expected the graphics to show up on the main monitor (a 23" Cinema Display) in the first place; it may be due to resolution limitations on the monitor, I don't know - but whatever the cause, the game was reading mouse position and mouse events from the main display, assuming that the game was being played there, but shoved all of the graphics onto the wrong screen - which tells me that the game was probably given the wrong monitor by whatever calls it used to set up the screen, and it didn't bother to check what it got or how the mouse events should be handled as a result.

I'd be more than happy to download and test possible fixes for the game demo, should you be interested, and once problems are fixed, would like very much to buy a copy.

Have you tried running it in the other monitor?  :)

Something you could try is change what windows considers your primary monitor.
Right click on your desktop and select properties to bring up your display properties dialog box.
There should be two monitors displayed there, click on the one with the number 2 on it, and then click the check box saying use this montitor as my primary display.

What Gfx card and Os are you using?
