does just one work? if not then make sure desktop is set at 16 bit color mode.

If it does then maby your computer/3D card just cant handle two.

Ok, I tried copying the EQ folder to a different hard drive and running two different instances of EQW but that still gave me the error with D3D8.DLL If anyone can help me with running two different instances of EQ on the same computer please tell me, thanks.

yes, it's possible.
i've used 2 running clients(on one machine) to test stuff on my emu server.

Could you post a copy of your eqw.ini please? It might be that mine has a messed up combination of options or something :\

And anything else you can help me with would be great, I want to get 2 running on my comp pretty bad

Thanks

Try deleteing EQW.ini

EQW makes a new one every time its ran anyway.

*moves thread to win32 support*
