I am new to dual boxing and have a question. I am trying to run 2 accounts on one monitor. What i started to do is setup keyclone with 2 side by side screens with maximizer and that didnt look good. I cant figure this out, can anyone help me with this, my screen rez is 1680 x 1050 running a 2.66 2 duo core, 2 gig ram and a nvidia GeForce 8600 GT. Any help would be welcomed

What do you mean by didn't look good? was it too skinny? was it squished?

Did you try one window on top and one on bottom? 1680x525x2

when i set it to side by side, the ui doesn't fit, when i do one on top of the other, its too strecthched looking. Plus it allways reverts to 800 x 600 when i load wow from keyclone

in side to side you will either have to use mods for bars or scale down the ui to fit in the video options....

anytime you go into the video options in wow it will break out of the sized windows from keyclone if you are using a non standard resolution..

This may be stupid, but make sure that in Keyclone, go to the maximizer part and make sure that "Use Maximizer" is ticked, somehow when I set mine up I missed that part too and wondered why it was still sat at 800,600.

In your WTF folder there is a Config.wtf file that you can edit in Wordpad.

You can change the SET gxResolution "800x600" to whatever you'd like. If you've got the windows on top of one another you'd set the config file for each instance of WoW to SET gxResolution "1680x525"

just make sure to not make changes to video settings in game or it will revert it to the default if you have a non-standard resolution. ie make changes to things like graphics qaulity, gamma and so on in game then change the .wtf file for the resolution you like and dont mess with it again.
