| 90348 | 2002-10-17 23:10:00 | I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can run two programs of the same software on the same machine? If I install another copy of a program what will it do? Thanks |

| 90349 | 2002-10-17 23:20:00 | depends on the programs. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 90350 | 2002-10-17 23:23:00 | oh ok - so what would determine if it can or can't? | Chooky (1401) | ||
| 90351 | 2002-10-17 23:41:00 | if you could name your OS and application it would help some programs will install twice on one OS and not on another. factors that determine it are to do with progrm design and how the program uses the registry. other factors can be to do with data file need by the program and such like. |

| 90352 | 2002-10-17 23:42:00 | Ok My os is Windows ME and the program is called Herd Magic | Chooky (1401) | ||
| 90353 | 2002-10-17 23:43:00 | Depends on how the application is written and whether it allows you to run both of it at the same time. I used to open nine media player in 98/ME and arrange them nicely with different video feed for demostration. But don't think u can do that with the new media player in XP. |

| 90354 | 2002-10-17 23:52:00 | you could ask the people who made it??? or give it a try... just install it in two places and see what happens. (this can be dangerous and i take no responciblity for any damage done to you your conputer ,any infomation you have on your computer, your state of mind, your cat ......... ) |

| 90355 | 2002-10-18 00:13:00 | What's a Chooky doing with cattle? :O :D Jokes aside, do you want to actually install two of these programs, or do you just want to have two of them running at a time? I'm just guessing here as I don't know the program but possibly you could install two versions if you put them on different partitions on the computer or at the very least in different folders. Some programs will let you do that. Some programs will also let you have one program running twice. For example I can have MS Publisher running in two or three windows so that I have two or three documents open at once. Not all programs will let you do this however and you need to have a machine with a bit of grunt to do it. Either do some experimenting yourself (backup your data first) or like another person said get in touch with the software company selling it. |
