PwnBoxer - World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration

Do this: Locate your WoW directory, find wow.exe, and run it without pwnboxer say... 2-5 times. Does it actually load that many times? Also, is it in windowed mode on each? So your desktop has a bunch of small windows of WoW layered on top of each other?

Well, it will run 5 instances but for some reason the video settings in the game will not save when changed, and they are stuck on full screen 1024x768. It is a 1440x900 monitor. Have you heard of the video settings not saving when the game is exited? Thank you

Update - got the video settings changed by running wow as admin, pwnboxer working now, need to adjust settings.

If you need to run WoW as admin, then I think I know the fix to that. I read on the WoW forums maybe 5-6 months about about a problem you are having, and it is a windows security issue, not with multiboxing, but with WoW.

Quick fix: Go into your WoW folder, the WTF, and delete your config.wtf and force WoW to re-create it. When it re-creates it, it will do so with a new file permission that should be correctly set to your normal windows account.
