How does it not answer anything? 2 different accounts, 2 different eq2 directories on 2 different drives. No loading or saving or doing anything. And how does it use the whole drive? 9 GB of 320 isn't exactly taking up much room.

A friend has a much beefer setup than I with 3 SATA drives. One is for the OS and he installed EQ on both the other drives. He says it is a noticable difference running two instances of EQ having them on separate drives.

Personally, I much prefer separate monitor/keyboard/mouse (trackball).

Use one mouse and keyboard for more than one PC without a crappy KVM:

Can you get the blood of the damned with one of those cool little umbrellas?

What if you like, bought the same wireless mouse and stuff but only wanted to use one. So you have your wireless thing plugged into both computers, but only use one mouse so it moves on both screens. Would that work? AND...

If it does work.. could you set a UI up like this maybe? I was just thinking about how it would work and i think it would be pretty cool.



You have macros with the identical spells with just the spell names. This way you could stay on one screen.. and the mouse would move on the other screen too and you could just focus on one screen to cast everything. Now, i don't know how this would work with moving and other stuff also.. and could get messy at times. But it was just an idea

That won't work at all.

Just use Synergy or grab a similar commercial product.

Don't find yourself fixing things out of fear that you should have fixed out of love.

Well that would make measuring blood shots a hell of a lot easier.
