virtual pc problems.

[voncheeseburger]

i have a fairly powerful computer, which i use to play minecraft. which is fine.
but I wanted my sister to play too, we both have seperate accounts, but only one computer between us. so what i did was i installed a virtual pc to my computer running windows xp. after a long while i have two computers which can both run minecraft. now my only remaining problem is that the virtual pc and the real one dont work together. i was wondering if there is a way of sharing the keyboard between them ie; left half for the virtual pc, right half for the real one, and using one mouse per computer so that they dont interfere with each other. btw i have two monitors so thats no problem, and i have enough ram.

No one has found a way to do that.

It'll be a lot easier and cheaper to just get a 2nd computer.

Agreed. ^ Minecraft really does not take a huge amount of power to run. Though keep in mind it takes a little "umpf" from your PC to run if you need to play it on max settings.

That being said you could probably get by with a cheap PC from eBay or something as a 2nd computer.

Thank you
Im going to keep trying but i wont get angry so..
We cant afford a new pc so i guess thats back to the drawing board
On a side note i did have a really slow one but i flicked the red switch :/ haha

Yha go right a head and keep trying but it's very unlikely you'll get it.

I just checked out ebay, yha i know trs bad, and for £149.99 you can get a useable sytsem:
DELL 6.8Ghz DUAL CORE WINDOWS 7 DESKTOP GAMING PC TOWER COMPUTER SFF NEW HDMI | eBay

So ou do have options for very inexpensive systems for mine craft.
