I have spent an hour online trying to figure out how to install WoW a second time on my computer. the computer can handle it, but when I put the install disks in, it just gives me the choice to play the game. can anyone walk me through, or show me where a walkthrough is, how to install a second instance of WoW on a machine?

You don't, just run the one copy of WoW twice. So use your shortcut to start WoW, alt-tab out and run it again.

omg....its that easy? I was trying that, but not actually logging in before alt-tabbing down and trying to load another instance, so it kept just bringing up my current instance...

do I have to change the shortcut to add -w or can I change to a windowed version from within the game?

You can set windowed mode from in-game.
