Any updates to the game? Is it an older game running in some compatibility mode?

Have you tried updating your video drivers?

Running the game at a different resolution?

Running your desktop at a different resolution?

Running the game full screen instead of boxed?

the game run just fine! i just want to run multi account on that one game so i have to use -w in command line so i can have 2 windows open on that 1 game. the thing is if i click on window 1, window 2 will minimize and wise versa. i need them both stay on!

Sounds like its just the windows/game's behavior.

Well, sometimes video drivers, even installing the correct monitor .inf files...can correct oddities like this.

But since you added having 2x windows open at once...it may be a limitation in the game..can only support 1x running window.

Haven't tried gaming as a client twice at once with a game...would seem most won't allow that to prevent..err....certain advantages.
