I'm running Windows 7 in VMPlayer under Linux. I made some changes to Windows 7 to allow it to have two people logged in at the same time. However when I do this the sound lags behind on the host machine.
Is there a different version of Windows where I am less likely to have this problem?

Is the problem isolated to just audio or is it a general slowing of the whole system, a system of which being the sound lag?
As per the comment above; I'd try disabling the sound device on the VM.
Failing that, try limiting the resources given to the VM, if it's a taxing of the whole system that could be the issue.
If you're still struggling you could try a server version of Windows; they're optimised for multiple users via terminal services so should be able to cope better with having many users logged in at once.

A server version of Windows (2003, 2008, 2008 R2) would be better for this.

How are you logging in Windows 7 with two users at the same time? RDP? – Reflux – 2010-08-03T16:45:53.517
