I need help with this maximizer i am a noob to this so please dont flame if im well newbish...

Heres my config


#
# WoW Maximizer configuration file
#
# Open Readme.html for instructions.
#
# Lines starting with '#' are ignored.
# Remove the '#' from a line to use it and set the values you prefer.


## Display resolution. Leave this out to use the current display mode.
# resolution = 1680x1050
## Display device. Leave this out to use the primary display.
# device = 1
## Keep the taskbar visible. Leave this out to use the whole screen.
# taskbar = 1
## Make room at the bottom of the screen (for autohide taskbar).
## Arguments are top,bottom,left,right
# margin = 0,1,0,0
## Increase screen brightness (gamma).
# gamma = 1.7


## Example 0: Use the current display mode and primary display.
#
-nothing- This is the default behaviour.

## Example 1: Use 1600x1200, 32 bits per pixel, any refresh rate.
#
# resolution = 1600x1200

## Example 2: Use 800x600, 60Hz, 16 bits per pixel.
#
# resolution = 800x600
# frequency = 60
# bpp = 16

## Example 3: Use display 2, do not change display mode.
#
# device = 2

## Example 4: Use display 1, change display mode to 1024x768.
#
# device = 1
# resolution = 1024x768

## Example 5: My settings. Use 1600x1200, 75Hz.
#
# resolution = 1600x1200
# frequency = 75

## Example 6: Keep the task bar visible, use the current display mode and primary display,
#
# taskbar = 1

## Example 7: Keep the taskbar visible if set to autohide and located at the bottom.
#
# margin = 0,1,0,0

## Example 8: Increase screen brightness (gamma).
#
# gamma = 1.7

## Guild Wars (not 100% functional)
#
#program = Gw.exe
#title = Guild Wars
#class = ArenaNet_Dx_Window_Class

I am thinking of testing out on a private realm, just to see the level rate or duel boxing if its quicker or what etc etc, i will probably choose the paladin class or warlock/priest

If you are going to use the WoWMaximizer configuration file you will need two WoW directories.
I use the WoWMaximizer command-line arguments to set the margins and only need one WoW directory.

anything in the configs (inis) that i need to edit?Did you have a copy of WoW into separate folders, like c:\WoW1, and c:\WoW2 ?

Did you have a copy of WoW Maximizer on each WoW1 and WoW2 folders?

I created the batch file in my desktop. It should create a top window and bottom window of WoW.

You may also need to go into each WoW1\WTF\Account.cfg file and look for the GFX Resolution of something, change it to the res you have for that window. Do the same for the WoW2\WTF\Account.cfg file

run WoW individually and set it to some Wide screen settings under the video options.

exit wow.

edit the wtf/account.cfg and put in the resolution of the wow maximizer
