I have Vista Ultimate and was wondering if i can do the following or does anyone else have a workaround...

1 pc 2 monitors....
monitor one to be my normal logged in account that i access all my stuff on and monitor 2 to be used as a second log in?

Like the same as having 2 computers next to each other.

The main point is i want to run the same programme twice and Vista don't seem to use run as another user option.

Any help?

probably cos the program was installed to be used by all users, so it cant boot up the program when its already in use. If you uninstall it and re-install on both users as for "this user only" or whatever, then you should* be able to do it. Never done it myself, and ive just thought of it myself, but could work

 

you want to log in to 2 accounts at the same time right?

that dont work on vista or xp for that sake

you need to run win server 2003/2005 or 2008

 

yep you cant do that unfortunately, the image on screen 1 will be exactly the same on screen 2

 

ah ok cheers guys

What about adding another user account? can i then switch users and use the same programme?

yes you can do that i think, although im not sure if you can log out one account and leave something running? you might have to shut everything down as you do before turning any pc off

Dont quote me though ive never tried anything like this

 

Cheers man

I just set up another account and then used the switch user option in vista and it lets me run the 2 programmes together
