Has anyone figured out how to get around the client coding so can run two clients on one computer?

You might want to try configuring your machine for fast user switching. Run VG, switch users, then try to run a second instance of VG from the other user account. I'd try it myself but my WinXP is screwed up and won't let me switch users without logging off.

You make two windows XP users. Run one vanguard account on one, then do switch user, run another on the other windows xp user.
edit: virtual PC won't work for anything other than the 8mb graphics driver =/

I'm still patching on the second, when i'm done i'll post a pic. It is supposed to work even with macros that require active window, you could bot 2 at once on one puter.

looking forward to seeing pics. Hopefully it does work. I hear though that Virtual PC does not play 3d based games, hopefully it is wrong

You heard right. I just wasted 3 days of my life to find out it is impossible to change the video drivers.

also i tried using both "virtual pc" and "VMware" neither of those work due to the fact they cant emulate or access directx9 which is obviously needed, i checked there support forums and no go there...they said directx9 support is a !@#$%^&* to access so don't plan on seeing it anytime soon.
so I'm clueless as to how and what to do now... maybe we can get some of our technical admins to knock some of this sh*t out and maybe get a work around for sanboxie or maybe a dedicated program? i don't know how hard it would be.. just a thought. I'm willing to help in anyway i can. i have been dedicated and focused to finding a solution to this problem for a month now.
***if anyone is willing to help solve this problem post here or pm me***
