I'm trying to box 2 characters on eq but I can't figure out how to make it so it'll show both of my acounts on one screen instead of having to press control+alt+delete and then selecting the other account which will come up in full screen. How do I do this?

Your best option with WinEQ Lite is to use a small enough resolution in EverQuest that more than one will fit on the screen. Pro users can take advantage of special features like extra resoltions in EQ, tiling, picture in picture, and so on.

Okay, have any ideas what the dimensions would be on a 19' monitor?

Nope, it all depends on your desktop resolution. For example, if your desktop resolution is 1600x1200, you can easily see two 800x600 EQ's.

Inside the game, hit ALT+O, then click Display tab, then click Video Modes

Using a 19" at 1280 by 1024 i am running 2 accounts both at 1280 by 480 using the viewport command to have a 760by480 window centered. Gives the game a playstation splitscreen feel. I use the next window command hotkeyed to F12 and it works like a charm.

In the Eqclient.ini all you have to do is edit the resolution manualy to get nonstandard resolutions. Without using the viewport command the 1280by480 window was chopped down, like it was missing the top and bottom of the screen. kinda makes character select weird too.

Easy way is to set your mouse Release to ctrl+z, you will lose allot of viewing Space if you want to see evrything on one screen.

Example,

1280x1024

If I want to see evrything on my 17"
800x600.

I suggest Tile mode at little more then half screen mode like EQ2 runs in. Widescreen,, Can mouse release quick and click next screen for us ppl with no keyboard skills. Or just play with mouse release the whole time if your good with keyboard commands.


I Can play 4 accounts at one time on 800x600, but now EQ just eats up allot of memory.,
