multiple instances of Tickstory? speed up backtesting

I tested some further.
By now Windows 7 can run max 1 instance of Mt4 Backtest (started by Tickstory launcher).
I tried with different users offcourse and different brokers and folders.
The second instance always stops after 1 bar.

Interesting is, Windows XP can run 2 instance of Mt4 Backtest (started by Tickstory launcher) at the same time.
When i started to run a third instance with a third user, i get the same error lik under Windows 7,
the backtests “finished” after 1 bar.

I really want to understand why this happens .

My initial goal was to run 4 Instances on a quad cpu, but at the moment i am limited to 2.
(better than 1 at least 😉 )

If anyone haas ideas, please reply.

greetings

Ok i tried as workaround virtual box, but tickstory craches when i try to run it.
I mean in theory it should work.

Has anybody else tried this ?
