issue with logging in 2nd acct.

I use 1 computer to dual-box when I play. Lately, I've noticed when I shrink the active CoH window in order to pull up my 2nd account, the launcher pops up and it expands the still-active account. It seems like I can't log in to my 2nd account if my 1st account is currently active on this computer. In the past, whenever I've shrunk the active screen, clicked on the game launcher, it logs the game on where I enter my log-in and password. This is not how it's been lately however. Any ideas as to why it's doing this?

File->Settings

Advanced tab, check the "allow multiple instances to be launched box"

Also, you should set the launcher to exit after starting the game. The launcher has a memory leak.

If you find that checking the box "allow multiple instances" doesn't work, open a support ticket.

Also, try clicking start, run and typing in MSCONFIG.

Click the tab that says Services.

Check the box that says hide all microsoft services.

Of the boxes that remain, uncheck all of them.

Then try again.

Worked for me.

I had just this problem. I found that closing the launcher, then reopening it, allowed me to launch the 2nd account

Thanks everyone It's working just fine now
