Did you remember to SAVE the configuration screen after unchecking multiple
instance? If you do not save then the next instance does not know about the
change you made.

This tested fine on Win98. What (tm)Windows are you running?

The mutex feature in IDE is designed so that you MUST HAVE OPEN the
first IDE instance

     arg = allocate_string("JudithIDE")
     hMutex = w32Func(xCreateMutex,{0, 0, arg})


CreateMutex: If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to
the mutex object.

If the named mutex object existed before the function call, the function
returns a handle

to the existing object and GetLastError returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS.

Otherwise, the caller created the mutex.


By deleting that code CoJaBo you never release a mutex handle and thus
just created a resource

leak in IDE...Watch out what you do, especially if you dont know what
your doing.
