Multi-boxing Part 1: Getting Started

Dermond: That's a Window's setting. I can't remember where, but you can set it to have windows change focus on mouse over. I have it set in Vista, but like I said, I can't remember. However, this changes it for everything, so it's great in WoW, but can be annoying when not playing.

Here's how to in Vista, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...windows-vista/

Thanks. Just wanted to verify if it was possible in Octupus itself or not.

For XP users, grab the TweakUI powertoy to enable X-mouse style window activation (on MouseOver, in other words)

Great guide, been of plenty help.

However, I'm brand new to this and having a hard time understanding how to setup Maximize. Running on 1 computer with 1 monitor, going to 4box. 1920 x 1200 resolution.

Having a wee bit trouble of setting it up (and understanding it completely)... :P

Syro thanks for all the information to setup octopus, im just having one problem...

I used the wiki link to setup Octopus, i extracted my octopus folder to a location on my computer, ran the exe and it comes up with this error

Syro, great guide. I am trying to use Keyclone instead of Octopus. I have yet to find a really good guide anout setting up the macros. Currently trying to two box a couple of hunter toons. Can get them to follow and such but haven't been able to get the targeting and attacking to work. From what i understand, things such as the attack button (being the same on both toons) does not fire. only one does. Do you know of a good guide for setting that kind of stuff up? wiki had some stuff but I didn't see anything to help un-confuse me. ?(
