| Okay, a short story to explain why I need what I need. My wife and I love to play WoW together. This is all great, until her laptop dies. So, we've been thinking of a creative solution to still play together until her computer parts come in. My computer is capable of multiboxing at least two accounts. The idea that we came up with is that I can dual-box her account and mine on my computer, hook up a second monitor and display each instance of WoW on each monitor, and find a way to handle two keyboard and mouse inputs so that we can play our accounts simultaneously on my computer alone. This poses a few questions: 1. How do I get each instance of WoW to display full-screen on separate monitors? (I didn't see this option on PwnBoxer's website) 2. Does anyone know of a program that allows me to control two simultaneous keyboard and mouse inputs, and that allows me to direct each mouse/keyboard input to the desired application? (ie. let my wife's mouse/keyboard control her WoW account and let my mouse/keyboard control my account). I hope I was clear on what I'm trying to do. Let me know if I need to clarify anything. |

| Senior Member | wow this be hard really u would not need software. not muliboxing software anyway For this all u can do is is use a 2nd input for her like a mumpad but this would not help with mouse really... then put wow into window mode and just drag the window over to 2nd sceen olny other thing you could try is VM software so you run two OS systems on your pc that might work.. Edit find some stuff http://www.userful.com/products/downloads/free-2-user but its not windows :S there might be somethink else like this about

| Oka,y I used the windowed mode to drag her account onto the second screen. Running two OS's might be a bit much for my PC though. Hm... |

| Do you think this could work? It's hard to tell from their website. Home - Wunderworks - Multi user Interaction |

| Basically windows will not allow you to have multiple keyboard/mice that are separately addressable to separate focused windows. |
