Hi, i've not posted here before but have been a long time visitor of this site I've been dual boxing for a couple of months and today decided to see if my comp could handle running another instance of WoW, and started playing around with maximizer.

I noticed you're wanting to do the same thing I am now doing and are having the same problems i encountered (i run vista too)

Basically I had to define the monitor i wanted to use in the maximizer.ini file in each WoW directory by adding to the bottom of the file :

device = 1
for the window i wanted on my main monitor

device = 2
for the two windows i wanted on my second monitor

when doing this you don't need to set the margin from the left (or right depending on which side of your main monitor your secondary is) for either as setting the device seems to cause maximizer to see them as entirely seperate displays, not one spanned accross two monitors as with windows XP (i believe)

so you would want to create a .bat file like this :

[code:1]
REM main mon
c:\wow1\maximizer.exe --margin 0,0,0,0
REM top of secondary mon
c:\wow2\maximizer.exe --margin 0,512,0,0
REM bottom of secondary mon
c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 512,0,0,0 [/code:1]


Creating a .bat file to open all 3 windows at once didn't work for me as after each new window was opened, the previous one would "un-maximize" and appear back in the middle of my main screen. However give the above a go, i have no idea if this is a general problem with vista or just my pc being a pain

If, however the above batch file does the same as mine do the following:

create three seperate .bat files (wow1.bat, wow2.bat, wow3.bat) with the following in.

wow1.bat:
[code:1]c:\wow1\maximizer.exe --margin 0,0,0,0[/code:1]

wow2.bat:
[code:1]c:\wow2\maximizer.exe --margin 0,512,0,0[/code:1]

wow3.bat:
[code:1]c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 512,0,0,0[/code:1]

that should hopefully work now, just make sure you run the bat files relating to the secondary monitor first if you're using the first monitor to open them, else WoW will pop up on top and get in the way

btw, this is not necessarily the easiest way of doing it, simply the only way i could get maximizer to work on vista with two monitors xD
