Help with Maximizer.

[Kareem]

Hey all,

I am running two monitors off my PC, ones a 22" Widescreen which is good for 1680x1050, the other is a 17" monitor for 1280x1024.

I am wondering if it is possible to get maximizer to open one wow at 1680x1050 on one screen and to get the other wow to open at 1280x1024. I can get them both to open at 800x600 on either screen, but once in game, I need to set the proper resolution, and it obviously resets after each logout.

Thanks for the help,

Kareem

I have no experience using two monitors, but it sounds like you aren't setting the resolution for your wow instances in Maximizer?
There's a list where you can choose pre-set resolutions or type in your own, the default is 800x600.

G'afternoon Kareem,

yes, you can do that. make sure your wows are not running... go to keyclone/ setup/ maximizer editor, click the region.. set the resolution in the bottom center.. repeat for each region. hit ok, then start your wows.

btw, you could send me a PM instead of hoping i'll find the thread.. it'd be much quicker

good luck,

Rob

There are two problems I am having:

1) I choose 1 resolution for Monitor 1, and it sets itself to Monitor 2 aswell, I can't have two different resolutions for some reason.
2) There is no 1680x1050 resolution.

As for you second problem; you can just type in whatever resolution you want, you don't have to use the pre-set ones.

Oh....this helps.

Thanks

:D

EDIT: This actually fixes both problems, thanks :)

Before, I wasn't clicking the region then setting the resolution, so every time I would click ok, it would just stay at 800x600. This time, I clicked the region and changed the resolution. Now it works perfectly. yay :)

[keyclone]

the resolutions are on a per region basis. left click the region, set the resolution.
and as chazz said, if you don't see the resolution you want, you can just type it.. <width>x<height> ie: 600x800

the dimensions of the region are a different story... and don't effect the resolution wow uses

I am now having another problem, not sure if it is keyclone related or not but....

Randomly, the mouse on the secondary screen (smaller screen) will go wonky, and will automatically move over to the main screen (larger resolution). When I try to mouse back to the smaller screen, it changed view, I cant do anything.
