I was wondering if there is a way to install W@W on multiple OS on the same computer. I currently have an XP/Vista dual boot with W@W installed on Vista. I know I can install it on XP at the same time but can't find anything on if it will mess up my online account.
The reason why I want to do this is so I can use TS overlay to get to know the voices better. TS overlay will not work with 64bit OS it appears. Unless someone knows a trick on how to use it or another program.
Thanks

It should not mess up your online account but you probably will not be able to use the same name. Try to set up a virtual PC in vista and install XP on it. Then you can use TS and other programs that are Vista incompatible. It is resource consuming but if your PC has enough memory and processor power it should work. I have virtual PC set up in XP and installed Vista in it so that I can test it. It works fine. The only thing that is not possible is to install advanced graphic because the graphic card and other components are virtual.
My configuration is made of Intel Quad Core 6600 and 4 GB of memory.

I had WAW on my XP computer then I put it on my vista computer and used the same name.
I use 2 monitors TS is on one of them.

Thanks guys for the input. Vista is already a resource hog and virtual pc drive with more resources is not in the game plan. I am gonna try a dual boot install of COD.

Update. I can now run W@W on single hard drive, dual boot with XP/Vista. Teamspeak overlay works in XP and I have not been kicked by PB. Also I am able to use the same in game name with both installs. Sweet.

That's good. I have never setup a dual boot although I have considered doing that. I had bought graphic cards that came with "free" copies of our game so I just installed them on separate pcs.
