Hi, Im new to this can anyone help me? I want to know if it is possible to run SL twice at the same time from the same pc? I have tried but obviously just says SL already running. Is there a way to do this?

Yes it is possible. However you will run into performance issues when running two clients. Currently SL runs one client taking up 75-90% of our memory resources. I would stronly advise another PC running SL if you want to run two clients.

Some problems I have had running two clients on one PC is the sound streams to the new client, when you close the second client you lose sound for the main client.

here is a tip... if your running two or more...

go into your perferences and devided your video ram by the number of connections your oging to use at once...

ie: if your card has 512mb, then set it to 256mb for 2 clients.
