I want to play Titan Quest with my girlfriend, originally I wanted to run the game on my laptop and on my computer, and just LAN the game. Unfortunately, my laptop can't run the game. The next configuration that came to mind was virtualization.
The plan was to have two virtual machines running on my computer at once, and use different mouses and keyboards for each, then just run Titan Quest on low settings (I am confident my computer can handle the load) on each of the VMs.
Is there a better solution, or how can I get Titan Quest to run in my Virtual Machine?
My (host) computer's operating system is Windows 7 (64-bit), and I happened to have a 32-bit Windows 7 DVD available, so I decided to just use that for my two (guest) machines. If it's easier to work with other operating systems, that can be done (although I'd rather not reinstall windows on my host machine).
If there's any other information I can provide, let me know, I'll say if I don't know how to obtain it.

Should be doable, just try it and see if there are issues we can figure out if need be.

Re: Trying to play two of a game at one...
I'm having trouble running Titan Quest, should I start a separate thread for getting it to run, or keep this thread for both topics?
My motherboard has 4 USB ports, currently I use a mouse and keyboard; I have a PS/2 keyboard and a second USB mouse. My MoBo also has two Ethernet ports, if I wanted to make a physical LAN as opposed to a virtual LAN.

Keep it in this topic, as it's still the same subject here. You just happened to find a problem.
What is the actual problem? Using a virtual LAN with Internal Networking should do just fine. If you use your physical adapters, then you have to physically connect them too, else it won't work.

Re: Trying to play two of a game at one...
Currently, running Titan Quest is the problem. When I run the game, it goes to a black screen, occasionally I'll get an error message, but sometimes I won't. I've experimented with various compatibility modes with (and without) administrator rights. I'm pretty sure the virtual machine is having trouble running TQ, because I AM able to run it on my host machine outside of the VM.
