Its a core i7 with a gtx 295 and 6gb of ram, but my vista 64 isnt here yet to reinstall so im running 32 currently.


Im just trying to dual box my 2 accounts, i can load an account...and it was weird because at first when i went to click the video settings everything froze up. Now, it seems maybe one account will fire up, but once i try to load my 2nd and its handshaking, it will lock up.

What could be the issue here?


I mean i was dualing on a p4, a pc that doesnt even compare to this...and im just not sure. I did fire up the crysis demo and it said i needed some driver, i got that to see crysis and i doubt thats the issue, but where could the problem be, anyone have any ideas?

When I dual boxed I had to run both clients in windowed mode. If you haven't tried that, I would suggest that. And it shouldn't be a problem with your build, but with mine, both clients had to have pretty low graphic settings so it wouldn't own my computer. Hope that helps.

Im pretty sure they are up to date unless theres some other driver im missing. I ran the crysis demo, and other games seem to be running....its just i cant load up 2 accounts, it makes no sense. And yea Wopps i have it windows, and like i said i dualed with a crappy p4 the other day...i dont see how my system is having issues.
