<p>To run 2 accounts on the same computer you cannot run the launcher twice.</p><p>Run the launcher to start up the first account.</p><p>For the second account, go to the EQ2 folder and run the Everquest2.exe file. (It might say Everquest2 and the type Application.)</p><p>When the second account loads it will bypass the launcher - you'll get a small window to put in your login information.</p>

<p>Whether or not you can dual box with the launcher is a question of the launcher's mood at the time.   It worked, then it didn't for a long while, recently it's worked well, now it seems to have gone south again.</p><p>A slight variation on Gravy's advice, that has always worked for me, though all the gyrations:</p><p>1) Run the launcher, use it to patch, close it.2) Start everquest2.exe as Gravy indicated. Log Account/Toon #13) Start everquest2.exe again, log account/toon #2.</p><p>Personally, I put a shortcut to everquest2.exe on my desktop, and use that as my main means of spinning up any accounts I choose at the time.</p><p>It ain't pretty like the launcher, but it works.</p><p>(Depending on your system, you may need to launch everquest2.exe with "Run As Administrator")</p>

<p>We're aware of the multiboxing issues with LP4 and our launcher team is working on it. For now, the workarounds posted in this thread and others should allow you to multibox without multiple installs <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
