Ok so I'm new to this just last week. I set up a druid and priest, got to level 5 with just two simple macros and the started "two on one" HKN script. I had fun with that, but I really want to try 5 boxing. I think my machine can handle it with the slaves on lower settings. i5 760, GTX 460, 4gb ram.
So what I want to do is have the script open and resize the just the 4 slaves(to my 2nd monitor). I made a new folder for the slaves to save the lower settings (think thats the best way to do that). I re-wrote the beginner 4 man script from HKN to have 5. It will launch 5 WoW's. but, but.
The script will not re-size any of my slave windows, the main one seems to get the re-size. It does take the windows frame off, that is working.
Also WoW gives me an error saying It can't load 3D acceleration cause Direct x9.0 something something. If I go into the slave file and open one wow.exe it doesn't give me that error.

Obviously I'm missing something in the script to point the the windows that need to be re-sized or something thing, I'm just now sure what I'm missing.
I also have some unanswered questions about RAF, and all of that. but well wait to see if can even launch 5 WoW's.
