? For 4+Tablers

[Chairman Wood]

Does anyone 5 table or more and only have one monitor? I have a laptop with a pretty 17 x 12 ish screen (not sure exact dimensions but it is larger in both dimensions that any laptop I've ever seen). When 4 tabling I only have a slight overlap heigth-wise. Would it be possible to 5 table (or more) effectively? Does anyone do it? I imagine a good portion of the time I would have a table completely blocked. Is that just a terrible thing? Any other thoughts?

if you try it, you'll probably be able to tell if you hate it.
some people do, some people don't; you just need to try

When I 12 tabled I put 6 on each monitor. 3 in two columns.

If you're going to do that, get Tweak UI and set up your mouse so that the window activation follows the mouse (X- mouse). That way you don't have to click a table window to activate it. There is also a setting that brings the active window forward when activated.

Tweak UI here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Install tweak ui. It installs into the control panel. Open up tweak ui and go to the mouse tab. Check the "activation follows mouse" and "autoraise when activating" boxes. Select an "activation delay" if you want to. It'll make life easier.

I can't get Tweak UI to work. I install it an unzip it and all that, but I can't find a program to open.

Right-click on the .inf file, click on Install.

I got it to go through the setup wizard, I click "Finish", and that's about it. What do I do from there? There's no icon in my control panel, I think that matters.

Again, I suck.

It may require a restart, but I'm not sure. I installed it a long time ago and I just remember that it showed up in the control panel, but that was with Win2K. Perhaps XP puts it someplace else?

[AncientPC]

TweakUI for WinXP is different from previous versions that installed it into the Control Panel.

You can access it by going to Programs -> Powertoys for WinXP -> TweakUI for WinXP

If all else fails, try this location:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tweakui.exe
