Anyone get both of these together to work?
I'm using Win7 and the only way to get multiplayer to function is if I start the multiplayer session in windowed mode. Unfortunately, it seems like I'm locked in fullscreen mode if I have the widescreen mod installed, and IWD2 simply tabs out and hangs.
Help would be appreciated.

Did you try Alt & Enter to switch to windowed mode?

Yes, unfortunately it seems to be forced into fullscreen.

Additionally, I've tried multiple compatibility modes, run as admin, video settings, aspect ratio setting, software mode, etc.
My friend seems to have the same problem, and I've found the same issue across different forums with the solution be to start in windowed mode, but none were using the widescreen mod.

If you have the game installed in C:\ProgramFiles\...., put it somewhere else.
I just started a Multiplayer game with the widescreen mod installed & can Alt & Enter between Windowed & Full screen.

You haven't made any other changes? Mine's already outside of program files. Also, are you using 64bit?

I've disabled Hardware Acceleration, installed outside of ProgramFiles & allowed firewall access, turned UAC down one setting. Nothing else.
Yes Windows 7 64bit.

I should double-check, are you using Gibberling's widescreen mod? If not, which are you using?
