Solve : Sandboxie alternative??

1.	Solve : Sandboxie alternative??
Answer» Looking for a free alternative to Sandboxie if anyone knows of one. My one friend wants to run 2 copies of a game on same system like I'm doing. I'm doing it through a virtual machine for my second copy running in a Windows XP SP3 environment, but they dont have the same LUXURY. The game will not run 2 instances of itself on the same system unless the 2nd copy of the game is running in a Virtual or completely isolated sandbox so that it DOESNT detect the first copy running. I tried simple methods of making this work by changing the name of the EXE etc, but the resource target is the same which breaks this method from working and its HARD coded so unable to redirect the 2nd instances resources. The game is a free to play game so nothing illegal with running 2 copies of the same game. And each instance of the game is logged onto with a different account to control 2 different characters. I was running 2 computers to do this, but have since implemented the virual machine method on a system with dual displays and just move mouse back and forth between the windows of the actual machine and the virtual machine and run this way. If the only method is to run a Virtual Linux environment within Windows 8.1 ( friends laptops OS version ) and set up WINE to run the game intended for Windows I could do that too, but unaware of any Linux based sandbox options that exist for running on a Windows based machine. With a resource target location hard coded and no option to change that, it will only work for 2 instances on same system if they are isolated.I don't have more info on this... My memory fails me on this one. DoubleDOS Quote Install more than one operating system (multiboot) If your computer's hard disk has adequate free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. This is called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration That seems to be the wrong definition. Here is what I recall. That software thing was like a switch that would flick back and forth several thousand times a second so that it would appear to b e two i installs of an operation system.

Here is somebody else rambling about this idea.... http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/can-run-two-non-virtualized-operating-systems-simultaneously-hardware/ Hi Geek.. well what may be a solution is what I did last NIGHT for this need to have 2 accounts running on a game that only allows a single instance to run at a time on it. I booted up a Pentium 4 3Ghz HT computer I have with 1GB DDR 400Mhz RAM and 80GB IDE HDD and the game runs ok on the Pentium 4. I then installed Teamviewer and gave my friend the computer identifier on the Teamviewer network something like 524 387 112 and passcode that was something like 6c8u9j (*These are not actual as for posting actual would allow others to remote into this system.) But Teamviewer on this Pentium 4 3Ghz HT with 1GB RAM running Windows XP Home SP3 seems to do the trick and a way of also not loading down their laptop too heavily trying to play 2 copies of the same game under 2 different accounts. There is a slight amount of lag with the teamviewer remote gaming computer method but the overhead of the game is PRETTY light that even in 2016 the 2004 era Pentium 4 is able to run it pretty well. So while I figured I wouldnt find a use for a old Pentium 4 computer, I found a use for it. Now when we game and run 2 accounts each I just boot up this computer for them to connect to and they are able to switch between remote pentium 4 and their local laptop for this game between the 2 active accounts.
