    Lightbulb Using library's computers + USB stick?

    Since my budget is quite limited at the moment I might have to wait before getting a computer that can 5 box well. My college's library has many computers but they only have 2 GB of RAM so I was thinking of installing WoW, Input Director and ISBoxer on a USB stick and then broadcast it to 2-3 computers. What would be the best way to do that? It is not possible to install any program on these computers but I can copy/paste folders.

    That's a great way to get in some serious trouble with the library/network administrator.

    Most libraries have restrictions in place that you wouldn't be able to do this, or they may have rules against gaming on PCs there.

    I see people playing Warcraft 3 on these every day and they all use a USB stick. The staff doesn't care. The only problem I have is to make multiboxing work.

    People - take notice that he's in Hong Kong. Check your USA mentality at the door.

    Try Mojo (find it in the software forum). It'll auto-discover other "mojos" on the network.

    I think the first step is to verify you can run a single launching of WoW. Warcraft 3 has a lot of mods/cracks that can help it run without installing onto the PC or editing the OS registry. I haven't heard of WoW running solely off a USB drive (doesn't mean its not possible, just haven't seen any topics on it).

    WoW requires not registry edits or special installed files. Just copy and go.

    A USB drive might be horribly slow though.

    WOW will run just fine from your USB stick/drive. You dont need to install it or anything, its self contained. Ive played WOW on work computers and lab computers that were set up with out admin rights or install rights etc.

    I think he's gotten wow to run, but getting boxing to run is his issue. I think he needs a multiboxing program that will work when run from either a USB drive, or from a folder on a drive, because he is unable to run an installer. As far as I know all the boxing solutions commonly used require something to be installed first.

    I've done some pretty crazy things (Moving, renaming, changing drives) with my innerspace folder and never had an issue.
