I did a search in the Tech forums, and giudes, using multiple & instances. I know its posted all over, but what folder do I need to modify & how to run 2 instances of SWG? I believe I need to change a 'no' to a 'yes', but I cannot remember how.

Create or edit user.cfg in your SWG folder and add the following:
[SwgClient]
allowMultipleInstances=true
allowMultipleInstances=true
Note that you need some serious RAM and CPU power to make this effective. I also find turning the sound off from the launchpad prevents crashes in most cases.

Also:
Access the "Paging File Size" for your Virtual Memory, make sure you atleast meet the recommend size. This will make it a lot more stable when running 2 clients.

Yeah the paging file is too often overlooked and windows doesn't do a good job of handling it imho, set both the minimum and maximum to the same value, 1 to 1.5x your RAM. When windows handles it your paging file is resized on a regular basis and this costs you performance.
