Sorry guys to bother you, but why doesn't the windowed mode work even though I have a AllowWindowedMode=1 line in my nwn.ini file (the one from the NWN install folder)? Does having two monitors active may be the cause that makes the game running full-screen?

PS. There's only one nwn.ini file on my filesystem. The one from the game install folder, I mentioned.

PS2. Oh, and I have Fullscreen line set to 0.

Are you doing alt-enter?

It is possible the dual monitor setup is affecting it.

Hi Tormak, thanks for responding. Well I've tried ALT-TAB, but you have to know I'm doing it from game's main menu as I can't connect to Amia ATM from reasons unknown (odd, considering that it worked a week ago). ALT-TABbing gets me back to the desktop, and when I return to NWN, both screen flash several times and then I'm back at the Main Menu. In fullscreeen, that is.
Oh, and the OS is 64-bit. I guess running NWN on modern systems is getting harder and harder.

Aah! Whadda mistakea did I makea! As would Captain Bertorelli say. I've put AllowWindowedMode=1 under [Video Options] instead of putting it under [Display Options].

Still, can't connect to Amia as it timeouts. Firewall hast nwnmain.exe added as trusted app. What's missing?
Can't remember... do I need a pass to log in Amia? Or is BioWare pass enough?
