When using AutoHotKey on Vista, remember to give it Administrator access

[spoiler]Or you will look like this Noob.[/spoiler]

I've read the forum rules and guidelines. I spent the last 4 hours looking for information on the wiki and using the forum search function for this problem. I've done the best I can, please help me.

Yes, I know about KeyClone. Anyway.

I'm running five instances of WoW on one box, 4 are shrunk to the smallest size with the maxfps/maxfpsbk command set at 25/8 respectively. I have AHK up and the script from http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/AutoHotKey running but nothing is broadcasting. I've messed with escape, /, and enter keys to toggle the "suspend hotkeys" function as it's written in the script. Still no luck.

Can someone please confirm that the above script is accurate and when I should start AHK, before, during, or after all the instances are set up? Is there anything else I can try to get it working properly? ?(

Thanks you for any help you can offer.

[spoiler]Good advice, turns out my problem was admin access with Vista[/spoiler]

You should start it after all the instances are running. This can be during the Login screen.

While info is limited, these sorts of questions have been asked numerous times, and led to many successful AHK users. Try searching from google, typing dual-boxing autohotkey

Perhaps you missed the part where he said:

At this point, I think he deserves a bit more than "go search".

try using AHK on notepad. make your .ahk file, open up two notepad instances and see if it works, else it could be an old version of AHK? or it could be as small as a little typo (a few extra characters generated by a faulty browser when copying to the clipboard that messes with the resulting .ahk file).

or try to start from the beginning and don't worry about the full script from the wiki. make your own little .ahk script that sends jump to all 5x wow windows for example. point is, try and learn how .ahk scripts work and make your own from scratch since you would build one better suited for you/your playstyle than the generic .ahk script from the wiki?
