It looks like a fairly straightforward piece of software to set up, once you take a few hours to familiarize yourself with the terms used and things.

I have a couple of questions:

1) I'm trying to set the software up to run on two machines. Downloaded ISBoxer and InnerSpace on both, followed the Multiple PC guide, recognized the other computer as it should have, successfully copied all my settings from my main computer to the 2nd one, set up a team for each computer and included the 2nd computer's team in the "Also launch" section of the first team, selected the correct computer from the drop-down on team 2's "what computer to launch on" area. Again, copied all settings over successfully. However, when I launch team one, it brings up those 5 windows on my main computer normally, but nothing happens on computer 2.
One thing I thought was intersting was that when I went into Window Layouts and my 2nd team's Regions, the right bottom drop-down where you change from <pre-defined computer> would never keep the setting when I changed it to computer 2's screen from the drop down. It always goes back to <pre-defined computer>. Not sure if that is related to the problem, but it might be.

2) This one is far less important, but the slave windows look like ass. It appears they are being emmulated by ISBoxer and so they are very fuzzy and text is impossible to read. Once in a blue moon I had this problem with Keyclone where one window would look crappy and I'd have to reload it, but all slave windows have always been ugly with ISBoxer. I'm using the same exact region placements and sizes with ISBoxer as with Keyclone. When I make any of my slaves the Hot Region, they come to the main window area looking very crisp as they should, but all windows in the slave areas aren't crisp at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mercurio
1. You came into the chat room but i'm not clear on whether you got what I said or not:
[14:56] <Lax> Mercurio: on both PCs, right click IS and select Console
[14:59] <Lax> Mercurio: during the launch process, the Console in the uplink window on the two PCs details what theyre trying to do
[14:59] <Lax> Mercurio: so on the main PC you should see it try to connect to the second PC (and output on the second PC if it connects)
[15:00] <Lax> Mercurio: if it connects but nothing happens after that on the second PC, then the problem may be that the Uplink Name in ISBoxer for the second does not match the actual name in the IS Configuration window on that PC
[15:01] <Lax> if you see ISBoxer try to start launching a character set on the second PC after the connection, then the problem would be indicated in the console on the second PC

1.5. your window layout stores the screens, pre-defining that part of the Computer inside the layout. So the next time you open it, it'll always say pre-defined
