Problem with Keyclone Maximizer

[Spekio]

I was trying to configure maximizer to show two WoW windows. I have tried just about everything and I can't seem to get it to work. The windows just seem to be opening normally, except that sometimes I get an error beep when trying to click on them and can't actually do anything with them until I click on the button on the task bar to get focus on them. I did manage to make one window work once, but the 2nd window still didn't work and then when I tried opening them again noth were opening in normal windows again.

I have 2 accounts. I have Sam with the character Joe and Sam2 with the character Sam. I am using two different WoW folders on the same drive.

Here is my INI file:

edit: removed account info and character names

NOTE: please do not post your keyclone ini files to the forums, as they can contain your account names

back on topic:
are you using vista? if so, please make sure to run keyclone as administrator (right click the shortcut, run-as admin)

let me know if that helps,

Rob

I'm running Windows XP and I'm on the Admin account.

hmmm... keep in mind the command names are case sensitive. (i usually recommend only using lower case and never spaces)

you have joe;sam in your auto-start... which would probably be the one time it works... after that, i see you have Joe and Sam in your command history

try just

joe

or

sam

or

joe;sam

try just

joe

or

sam

I've tried all 3 combinations, but the windows still come up at the center of the screen. The only thing is that I get error beeps if I try and move them sometimes. Also when I do try dragging them across the screen I it leaves a trail of the window behind it sometimes. I've also tried connecting them manually, but that doesn't work either.

[keyclone]

yea... i'm a bit lost. if you have vent, we can get on there.. or we could chat on the phone.

that'd be the easiest way to solve it

[Spekio]

Are there any settings in WoW that I have to set?

I have Vent. PM me and we can set up a time to talk.

[Spekio]

I spent some time talking with KC on vent. It turns out that Maximizer wasn't working because I have my region settings set to Japanese and was extending the advanced text services to all programs. Apparently these advanced text services create a hidden window with an identical process ID to WoW when it opens, Keyclone was picking up on this hidden window instead of the WoW window.

If you are having this problem, there is a very easy workaround.

1. Right click on your Wow.exe and click properties.
2. Go to the Compatibility tab
3. Check off "Turn off advanced text services for this program.

You need to do this for all instances of WoW.exe

It would be nice if a future update Keyclone could handle WoW with advanced text services on, but the workaround is pretty fast and easy.
