Is there a way to play multiple accounts at the same time on one computer?

Are you using Windows XP and have at least 1 GB of memory? If so, run one character under one account, and another character under another account. From Start->Log Off, choose Switch Users. This way you can switch back and forth between two accounts running simultaneously. Note that there are some problems with this, i.e. multiple processes accessing the sound card can produce poor quality sound. But it does work.

Open notepad and type this


[SwgClient]


allowMultipleInstances=true


save this file as user.cfg


not user.cfg.txt


you may have to change the pull down menu for file type to all files to get it to save as user.cfg

Before I get flamed, I'm posting this in the jedi forums because you are the most knowledgeable profession base in the game (go away bounty hunters).

In order to run multiple accounts, you have to have A) Two sets of game disks B) Pay for multiple accounts. Okay, I've done this. I have also set up the correct "allowMultipleInstances=true" file and made it read-only. My problem is this: I recently moved and lost one set of the disks. I have the case with the code on the back, but the disks are gone (probably in the possession of the Mayflower truck driver ).

So, I figure I could just install Galaxies from the same disk to two separate locations on my computer. This doesn't work. The only prompt I get is asking to modify files or remove them.

Will I have to purchase another set of disks in order to install the second Galaxies file? Am I totally missing a more clear, obvious solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

It is because your windows' register entries forbid you to do it so removing and reinstalling should be the remedy.

um, the disks (as far as i know) arent used for anything, heck if you want yoou can download them from some file sharing program and burn them lol


the only thing that matters is your game key, which you have already registered with SOE. So more than likely, that person with your disks wont be able to do anything with them.


Again, only one installation of SWG is required, you simply LOG IN with seperate accounts, using multiple instances


I know this because I have logged into many friend's accounts on my computer, using multiple instances.
