Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Have you ever felt the need to run multiple instances of GTalk? Personally, I do. One has my personal friends list and the other one professional.

Follow the steps to run two instances of GTalk client simultaneously:

Locate the existing GTalk shortcut or icon (It should be on your desktop or start menu or quick menu).
Once located, right click on the icon and click on “properties”
In the “Target:” field at the end of the line, leave a space and type /nomutex at the end of the line (look at the image below)
Click “OK”
