I need to be able to control two programs at the same time

If the video card allows, you could get two monitors and put one application on one screen and the other on the other screen to make it easier to see. You can have as many windows active as your processor and memory can handle.

If you use VB.NET you can easily accomplish this with Managed Direct X.\n\nTry downloading the Direct X SDK:\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/

its possible but it will complicate things. better to use another computer which has a parallel port. it will save you time in debugging/checking the program and connection.

Yes and no! \n\nIf these programs are not starting up when windows starts but are just there so that you can run them when you want, they will certainly not slow you down.

There are programs available to do this.  Can not do it without adding a program.  However they are resource hogs and will slow your PC.  Recommend against doing it.

* Choose 'settings'\n    * Choose 'control panel'\n    * Choose 'system' or 'system properties'

Sounds like your memory is not able to handle it with the other computer operations that it is trying to perform at the same time.\n\nYou need to have enough short term memory to let all programs function - when you are asking your computer to do multiple tasks at once - it has to stop one thing to do another and then stop the other to the next... (kind of like you if you have to do 3 or 4 tasks and you say  - Hey I only have TWO hands... hold on a sec."   this is why sometimes other programs you work on may run slow.  They are "hesitating" just like your CD's.  it's just you can totally notice it when you are listening to something like music, that is supose to be streaming and it is cut into by this memory issue.

You can do it in Linux and you will be able to do it Windows Vista. You'll need a video card with Dualview support. I'm talking about multiple separated desktops not one desktop extented on more monitors.
