XP Maximizer Bat doesn't work anymore under Vista

[Taipan]

Greetings,

I just got a new box with QuadCore 6600 and Vista Family Premium so I started copy/paste the succesful files from my other DuoCore 6850 and XP box.

This is a copy of my Launch bat file for two 22 wide LCDs in 1680*1050 resolution each.

[code:1]REM batch file to launch 5 evenly spaced wows
REM Left monitor
c:\wow1\maximizer.exe --margin 0,0,0,0
REM upper right of right mon
c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 0,525,2520,-1680
REM upper left of right mon
c:\wow2\maximizer.exe --margin 0,525,1680,-840
REM lower right of right mon
c:\wow5\maximizer.exe --margin 525,0,2520,-1680
REM lower left of right mon
c:\wow4\maximizer.exe --margin 525,0,1680,-840[/code:1]

This worked well on the XP box but on the Vista one, the following happens :

WoW1 launches full screen on main monitor, as wanted.

But when WoW2 launches to location Upper Right on second monitor, it's actually WoW1 that jumps to Upper Right (UR)
WoW2 appears on main monitor in large window mode.

WoW3 launches, WoW1 moves to Upper Left (UL)
WoW3 stacks on WoW2 on main monitor.

And so on, until all WoW 2-3-4-5 stack on main monitor and WoW1 went from Main to UR to UL to LR to LL.

I tried a delay with Timeout 10 between each command, no success.

Any idea ?

PS: if I write 5 different bat, one per client and run them separately, it works fine. But it's a pain and I'd like to figure it out.

This is the same problem I had when I started 3-boxing on one comp running vista.

I haven't found any other way of getting it to work other than using seperate shortcuts to each individual instance of WoW.

Perhaps a sticky of some sort in the beginners/software section might be in order to let people know of this until somebody finds a fix as I keep seeing threads about this popping up :)
