Hey,
I have dual monitors and would like to use them both when playing X2 Th Threat.
I know if does or at least did support Dual Monitors, but cant seem to set it up. I know this guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dua ... 759-6.html does not work on Windows 7.
I have tried using SoftTH but cant get it too work.
I put the d3d9.dll file in what i would consider to be the main file (the one that contains the .exe file) but as its a steam version of the game i dont know if that applies.
Anyway running the game after placing the file in the folder did nothing, and did not create any other files.
I dont want to buy a "triplehead2go" as i dont have a spare £250
Anyone got any ideas or using something that would help?

You need to use your graphic card's panel to set the two screens as one big screen. If you have an ATI card, it's called Eyefinity.
But there's a problem. The game is old and prefers 4:3 displays so, if you have two widescreen monitors and set the game resolution to the big resolution (for example, 3840x1080) the game will think that you have THREE screens.
I managed to make it work by tinkering a bit on the ATI control panel and selecting a 2048x768 resolution. This way each monitor will display a 4:3 image and the multimonitor settings in the game will work as intended back in the day.

Frankly, after doing all this I don't think it's worthy. I prefer playing on one monitor and having the pdf with all the controls opened on the other screen.
