We have drifted from the original thread. The fact that you can screw up DX4Win by starting two instances almost simultaneously is perhaps an interesting bit of trivia... and the RunOnlyOne utility is interesting... I never heard of it before... but has little to do with the problem that some have had after the program has been running for some time and suddenly changes to DEMO mode disabling the saving any new or changed data.
