Open double browsers

[TonySoprano]

This is a great site, first time poster long time listener! Anyone know how to open multiple browser windows to play games (such as spades, cribbage, hearts) so that I can play with myself on a different Nic.. as a partner. I use IE and Netscape when I play. Any help would be great!!     ???

From my understanding, after reading your post, that should be all you have to do... Use IE and Netscape together... have multiple names (2, one for each browser) and thats how you can accomplish what you are wanting.  If you want more names, download more browsers... Mozilla Firefox is good.

I use IE6 and Mozilla.  Everything works great!  Just be sure to remember to have a different name in each browser.

hi, i can't get two browsers to work either. if i sign in to pogo with one ID, it's on the other browser too. if i sign out at pogo on one browser, when i try to enter the room with both IDs i get kicked out.........please help if you can. thanks

When I use two different browsers, they all pop up in the same window.  Example, if I'm in a room on IE and I try to go to one with netscape, or any browser it knocks me out of the room that I am in and opens the new room in the same window?

pogo may have fixed the double browser trick  :'(

Don't you need two different JVM's as well?  IE running the Microsoft JVM and Netscape/Mozilla running the Sun JVM?

[TonySoprano]

Negative, tried that..

When you open the second browser be sure to log out on the first sn and then log in with the second sn. ;)

What I do is just Log Out both ID's in each browser then log them in seperately until I get to the room screen and log in the other to the game room screen and select the rooms individually too. When the room loads I'll close the Room select screen and do the other one the same way. I'll have 4 windows open max for two accounts. 2 of them are showing the Game Room I'm currently in, and the other 2 are the game playing windows themselves.

If I'm somehow booted, I exit the game window on both ID's and Right-Click the the Room Window and hit Refresh/Reload until connection is back and start over. There are very few times my pc crashes in the middle of a transfer or dump and have to restart but it's worth it.

Mozilla and netscape are made my the same people lol.

[chuckbronson]

thanks for every ones help here. Finally, Success!. i tried 3 browsers, the last one worked. ( netscape navigator 7.1 ). again thanks.

Mozilla and netscape are made my the same people lol.

Kind of... AOL owns Netscape... They stopped development on it earlier this year... Now when AOL fired all those people that were working on it, many of them moved over to the Mozilla project (as the Mozilla browser is based on the Netscape browser and uses the Gecko Runtime Environment)... So, built on the same foundations, and when fired from the Netscape project many of those guys moved over to Mozilla...

its alot easier to use 2 computers, desktop and a laptop :P

[TonySoprano]

That is how I do it now, with two computers.  I like to watch movies and download various files on one computer and keep this one clean. Problem is I cant watch a movie and play games at the same time if I'm using two computers. 8)

[TonySoprano]

Finally got it to work with IE and netscape 7.1.. What I was screwing up on is make sure you have sun java 2 installed for netscape.  You can make different profiles and open multiple netscapes also..

[brokenhearted]

Can anyone give me names of other browsers to use? I know about msn or ie and foxfire...any others that will work when using this help? Thanks so much
