Still cant log into 2 accounts, it gets an error when loading the character. Crashes. Might be an addon so I will disable all and try that later

I have enough free memory, I got enough memory on my vid card. I got enough space... WTF is the problem...

yeh its odd with WoW if im running 2 accounts it lags like hell but doesnt get disconnect and the latency runs only at 160ish. Its the same if i run windows media player and WoW at the same time. But I can run 3 EQ accounts with no problems. Wonder if its WoW itself causeing it.

This should workout just fine, I would try to instal WoW on another direction, for example C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft, and then have a second WoW instaled at the normal C:\Program\World of Warcraft, and open it from each directory, should work, although you will probably get abit lag with that computer
