Hello,
I recently started with dual-boxing but I´m having som problems. I have a HD 4850 graphic card and two screens connected to it. I have two clients of World of Warcraft running, one on each screens and everything works just fine. But whenever I try to use Octopus/Keyclone while playing the screen crashes after a couple of minutes telling me "Signal out of range" or "Power out of range". I have tried to start Octopus both before and after starting the clients. I have never had both programs installed on the computer at the same time.

There´s nothing wrong with my refresh rate, some people told me that this error message can appear if you try to run a faster refresh rate than your monitor can handle, but I´ve never had any problems with it before. Could it be that Octopus/Keyclone forces my screen to play at some other rate and therefore the screen crashes? I have also tried with only one screen and both outgoing connections on the graphic card.

:S

This is usually an indication that the ATI VM has crashed or that the error message about power requirements is correct. The former can usually be fixed with a driver update. The latter may require a new PSU.

Does the screen ever come back? Do you have to reboot to recover?

The screen does never come back, I have to reboot. I have a system containing of E8200 processor, HD 4850 graphic card, GA-EP35-DS3 motherboard and this system has always worked just fine for me, expect for when playing World of Warcraft with these programs running in the background.

Keyclone; 2gb DDR2 memory with Antec Sonata III 500W shell
