Total dual-boxing newb. Advice to set up needed please :)

Hullo.
I ought to say, I do have a touch of cognitive impairment caused by brain scarring - I'm normally fine, but sometimes things that you might seem as straight forward can be confusing to me. Please don't be offended if I ask silly questions, I'm just happy if anyone can help.

So my first attempts to dual-box have run into some issues. It's my first time, and I've run out of search engine ideas as to where to go now.

I had previously been happy using Synergy to switch between monitors/desktops whilst using the same Keyboard/mouse, but that's prooved to cause game issues in Wow...

The client computers WoW character has spinning camera issues.
I've tried the recommended fixes within the game, but to no avail, with the exception of the fact that I can't work out how to adjust the polling rate / USB refresh rate.

I've tried Mouse-without-borders and have the same issue.
I did download ISBoxer, but got really overwhelmed by the 'quick start' guide, and could not for the life of me work out how to get computer A talking to computer B, as I couldn't work out why I could not add new computers to the program, so I gave up on that one.

So please help.
Any idea of alternative progams to synergy that don't affect Wow camera spin?
Any idea of how to get Synergy to work with Wow properly?
Any other ideas at all?

I've been having to do two mice/keyboards but it's soul sucking and kind of defeating the purpose of what I'm hoping to get out of Wow.

Thanks in advance, Lil

Have you tried setting up ISboxer on just one computer? I'm curious as to what are you trying to achieve by using 2 computers.

Noooooo....I'm confused, how would using one computer be dual/multi-boxing?

Dual boxing is an older term from when hardware wasn't really able to handle multiple instances of the game. Modern hardware is so much more capable. You can think of "multi-boxing" these days as "multi-windowing" instead. For instance, I am able to "multibox" 5 accounts on one computer. I hope that helped explain it a little better.
