Hi,

You should maybe include a mutex at startup to stop 2 applications running at the same time :? Unless there is a use for this :?:

In theory someone might want to run two instances at the same time for two separate displays. But I see a problem there with the way things currently are as settings are saved in registry and they would both use same settings.
So if the setting problem could be fixed this could be handled with a check that would prevent running two instances from the same directory.

At the moment it might be best to prevent running two instances at all.

With a little efford you can still run 2 different lcds from the same program... You should just be able to address them seperatly... But if you rather want to instances :? Ok

I thought of supporting more than one display simultaneously some months ago but then decided to drop the idea and leave it for some future update. But it's possible and shouldn't be that hard to implement.
