My own EQ1 troubles lol

Hello i jusr installed isboxer and well quite honestly im completely lost and cant fiqure out how to set it up even with the wizard lol. I used to use wineq but when i saw isboxer i was transfixed with the beauty. i really want to be able to have all my windows on one screen. Now i tried to go to chat but its not working for some reason. i guess i also am asking is there a video of how to set up for eq1 it seems im more of a visual learner :( all i really want to do is set up some keys to cast at same time and see my 2 toons in 1 window. my first attemps the screen for main toon took up top 3/4 of screen while bottom took 1/4 but only 1 small box on the right was other toon and the rest of the bottom of the screen was my desk top /sigh and couldnt figure out the fix. so i got frustrated and not using it. any help would be greatly appreciated. i would even be willing to recieve help on the phone if in the us. thanks for any help.

i really want to be able to have all my windows on one screen.

and see my 2 toons in 1 window. my first attemps the screen for main toon took up top 3/4 of screen while bottom took 1/4 but only 1 small box on the right was other toon and the rest of the bottom of the screen was my desk top /sigh and couldnt figure out the fix.

So what you're saying is you want Picture-in-Picture? And the problem is that there wasn't such a selection generated in the Wizard?

You have 2 options. This can be done either using a Window Layout with window swapping, or with Video FX (feeds).

To do this with a Window Layout, first start with something from the wizard that does not include "Leave Hole" (meaning that it should have 2 regions, not 3), but uses swapping. You might already have this still. After the wizard has made the base for your Window Layout, select your Window Layout in the top pane. Then in the bottom left pane, select "Regions". Now the bottom right should show the same preview of your Window Layout that you saw during the wizard, except that you can click and drag the regions.

To do it with Video FX (VFX), you need to be on Windows Vista or later with Aero enabled for it to work. But in this case you would start with the "Full Screen Stacked" window layout from the wizard, and don't make any changes to it. You will set up the Picture-in-Picture for this through the game windows rather than through the ISBoxer Toolkit. So in the game, in window 1, hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+G (default hotkey) to bring up the In-game ISBoxer Control Panel. Click the Video FX tab (your copy may still say Video Feeds, this is a very recent change and I am still updating things), make sure the drop-down box says you're creating a Viewer rather than a Source, and in the Name box put "is2" with no quotes and click Add. As soon as you click Add, you will see a live view window 2, which you can drag around, size and position however you like. If you click on the view's title bar, it will open up a special editor window where you can make the feed interactive. Likewise, you can make interactive feeds of portions of the second window -- put the hotbars and spell gems from both windows next to each other, and so on. The Video FX page has more info on how to create these smaller views (by making sources, which is just as easy).

all i really want to do is set up some keys to cast at same time

Re: My own EQ1 troubles lol

If you choose the Video FX (formerly video feeds) PiP route, then this video by MiRai http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY_IatEInWo has a nice demonstration at the end. Ignore the fact he is doing it in RIFT - the steps are exactly the same for any game.
