vmware is virtualisation software.
It allows you to run multiple OS's on one PC.
so you can run 2 virtual windows XP pc's on a real pc.
Each of those virtual windows can run a game.
It's a very roundabout way to run a program twice.. but it works.
(it's not very nice on the system resources though, as you are effectively running X+1 amount of MS windows copies on one pc).
Lots of RAM and multiple cpu cores are what you need to go that way.
Easier is to simply kill the mutex (see above)
