Do you know how to double client programs that don't allow double clienting? I have a poker program with two account but it only let's me open one window. When I attampt to reopen another one it doesn't let me. How do I get around this?

Thanks in advance.

Well it's really the code that's involved.

//pseudocode

when Poker_getsOpened() 
{

     x = [check for a pre-opened Poker]
     
     if (x = true) exitProgram();
}

Aegis is right, you COULD use terminal services, but that would require a second computer. If you had the second computer, you could run it anyway.

Personally, I suggest making a copy of the entire folder and try running both of them separately like that. If that doesn't work, try making a copy of the folder but rename the EXE file.

Let me know.

Don't work.

I can run it on the second PC whilst running it on the laptop...

You most likely can use 1 computer (has to be a server flavor of windows) with different user accounts. Log in like normal, then fire up Remote Desktop Connection(127.0.0.1), and log in again. The memory spaces are isolated and not shared, so the program shouldn't be able to tell that another instance is running. At least, this was the case for some programs that I've used in this fashion.

No. Using a remote desktop connection on your own computer will result in a crash, because you've locked yourself out.

But yeah, my next suggestion was to try different user accounts.

lol...sorry, don' wanna sound smart all the time...

I guarantee you using a remote desktop connection on Win 2k3 server, 2k server, any flavor (standard, advanced, datacenter, enterprise) will not result in "a crash." This is how I administered many of the Counter-strike servers I used to run, before the advent of hslw and the like. Hosted a couple of servers on my duallie running Win2K Advanced Server, used Term Services to log into my own box (127.0.0.1, of course) and fire up hlds. Eventually, we turned to running them as automatic services (first manually, then with Firedaemon) and administering them with hslw. But term serving to your own box works just fine if you're running Win 2KX Server.

K, I've only tried it with Win XP Pro.
