Ok first off a little about my setup.

Hardware:
2 pcs
2 monitors

1st pc, 1650x1050 resolution running one instance of Wow
2nd pc, 1280x1024 resolution running four instances of Wow.


Software I'm using:
1. Synergy w/o broadcast version. (mainly because there is no explanation on how to get the broadcast working... someone dropped the ball there. It looks exactly like the normal version of synergy, and gives no place to work the broadcasting functions. A readme file goes a long way)
2. Hotkeynet. (I refuse to pay for anything until I get a proof of concept working, so don't tell me to use keyclone to fix maximizer)
3. Maximizer

I've got the boxes forming correctly with the margins as follows.


Top Left
--margin 0,512,0,640

bottom left
--margin 512,0,0,640

Top Right
--margin 0,512,640,0

Bottom Right
--margin 512,0,640,0


When maximizer starts up however, as it opens a new instance the previous instances jumps to full screen.... which is getting to be annoying. I've been searching this board and the wiki for a few days now and there is little to anything of value when it comes to help on how to run maximizer correctly. any help would be appreciated.


Oh and one further note:

The link to curse's website to download maximizer no longer works. All you get now is a "This project and its downloads are currently unavailable."

Ok... think I solved my own problem.

Apperently it has nothing to do with maximzer it's self. It's a vista problem... go figure. Trying to start multiple instances from one batch file causes the error. However creating a batch file for each instance works.... so instead of one handy dandy little batch file to start all 4... i've now got 4 batch files.

Grats on figuring it out. You're probably all set now, but just so you know, since you're already using HotkeyNet, you can do maximizer stuff with HKN with these keywords:

Run (http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/run.html)
RemoveWinFrame (http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/removewinframe.html)
SetWinPos (http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/setwinpost.html)
SetWinSize (http://www.hotkeynet.com/ref/setwinsize.html)
