1 pc 2 screens and two accounts
Hello
I got 2 gw accounts and of course I want to play on both somehow..
The regedit way to use both seems useless - having to switch between 2 windows accounts to access each of the gw accounts..
Any way I can set up 1 windows account with 1 gw account on one pc screen
and the other on other pc screen (having 1 pc to run them both -> performance of the pc isn't an issue at all)
Any tips and suggestions will be appreciated

Most games won't play if they're not in the active window - the main screen.
Last time I checked anyway.

need to know what your system specs are.... there may be a way around it, depends on your graphics card and how much software messing around with you want to do

The two accounts bit is easy enough - gwx2_4.1
It works fine with two windows on a large-ish widescreen - dual monitoring is not my field of expertise, sadly.
(Yet to find out what is, tbh )

You can run dual monitor as long as neither game is full screen. I run gwx2 to be able to trade with myself between accounts. But i've always used it for entering an area with 2 of me and 6 heros. I then map out on the one account and leave me with 6 heros to do FoW or whatever area I want. I find 6 heros configured and Runed up how I want is far superior to having to deal with some henchies who I can't individually command.

First of all, thank you all for replying so quickly! : )
My system spec is:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
The screen is 22''
4 gig of ram
I'd install a 2nd windows if needed for the program to work and mess long as it will actually work, but I'm not a pc expert so I need a detailed (enough ) explanation to make things work
It doesn't even have to be on 2 screens..if you somehow can make 2 gws work on 1 pc without logging on and off between xp accounts, it would be great

Your fine get the gwx thing. It works great. Window both screens and you will be fine.
I have a 22" screen and it is perfect.

Not been updated since Oct '06, but may be worth a shot. Try the 30-day trial.
Give it a good ol' scan for malware first, though. I don't trust the interwebs.
