Dude. Delete your account names out of the Octopus config screens. :P Seriously. Unless those are faked. No need to borrow trouble.

Good catch... Maybe you should put something in there like account1, accoun2, etc...

Thanks for the great guide! I'm thinking about trying dual-boxing right now and your article and video cleared some things up for me!

I'm looking forward to the next instalment!

OMG this was a great post...I grabbed this app and about to set it all up now...I've got people in my guild trying to set theirs up too and i'll point them straight to this thread...you might want to add the little tidbit on /console masfps commands in ther as well..i had search around to make sure i put in the right command without running keyclone....another thing..the way you've got your 5 setup...are they set to PiP or do you have all 5 set to wiindowed mode in the settings? i ask because i don't see any borders on the frames

ps.

the following is my setup...i'm wanting to box no more than 4 accounts (i run with a friend alot) i'll be experimenting with different class setups with my g11 keyboard using the macro keys (very helpfull btw)....my main question here is how do i setup the .exe files to run on the cores without burning out my processor? do i set each .exe to a specific core (1/2), does it automaticallly do that for me on a dual core? should i mess with that? i can't find a deffenate answer on this here (might be phrasing the searches wrong, idk) please let me know....when i first tried this, i had a single core p4 3.0ghz/2gigs ram/8xagp ati card....comp crashed on me (might've done something wrong)

ty anyways for your answers

I just recently decided that it would be interesting to try duo boxing :thumbsup: ... so after doing everything as you and the wiki instructed, I have an issue maybe you guys can help with :?: . I can't get maximize to work right ?( . It will change the size of my screen fine but refuses to move it away from the 0,0 position. :thumbdown: Basically, it's super glued to the left side of my screen. Also, it auto converts itself to 800x600 :cursing: [I normally run at 1280x800.] Any thoughts?

lans83: I mention the core thing middle of my first post, it's called proccessAffinityMask, and you can read more about it here.

guiverusa: Did you make sure you're saving your change in the maximize option? Sometimes when I'd change a value, I would need to click out of it before switching to a different tab otherwise it wouldn't take my change. Make sure in your profiles section that you've set that one instance to that specific maximizer. Like in this screenshot, you can see MotionA is tied to the maximizer "MotionA" http://lh5.ggpht.com/celeslie/SHSo5n...s800/octo4.jpg

Thanks for this! I'm new to this but always wanted to try it out. Now with my new priest, I have a reason.

Thanks!
