Hello. I'm fairly new to these forums, just recently registered to post a few questions and get some advice, but I have been reading for a few weeks now.
I just recently started dual-boxing to try it out. I currently only have 1 computer and 1 monitor (22" Widescreen). I'm trying to place the two screens on my monitor side-by-side, but I just can't get it to look nice. I do have a 2nd monitor that I can hook up to my computer, but I really hate span mode (makes playing my main terribly annoying to switch back and forth) and I can't run dual-view in XP.
I have WoWMax setup currently to open my two WoW clients side-by-side. My main window is at 60% of the width of the screen while the clone is at 40%. Screen resolution is at 1680x1050 (widescreen). But I can barely read either window, even when I set the text at 18 point. I'm not sure how to fix this. Should I go into WoW and change the default resolution to something bigger so when I scale them down they might possibly be readable? Should I look for a mod that can increase the text in WoW to something bigger? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to how to setup my two windows so both are readable on 1 screen?
I was also thinking if I can't get it to look nice, I might just finally upgrade to Vista. Really don't use my computer for anything but WoW and since Dual-view works in Vista, I could just easily do that.
