Can anyone else run more than one compiled.exe simultaneously? After a PC restart, I am able to double-click on the shortcut a number of times (like an impatient user might do), and multiple instances of the .exe run, even though we have the option set to only allow the program to run only once.
There are often more instances showing up in the task manager than what appear on the screen. Each instance consumes 15% - 25% of the CPU cycles, bringing the PC to it’s knees. I can’t explain why an application that doesn’t even appear on the screen but seems to be running in the background would take that many cycles – I would expect it would idle at 0% while waiting for a command. We have been able to duplicate this on multiple PC’s attached to the LAN using multiple user logons, so it doesn’t seem to be related to a specific PC configuration or user profile.

Using latest updates. There are commonly 2-7 users on the LAN at any particular time. Now we have one machine which started to load 2-4 copies. No other computer did this. While searching for a reason we found that if a computer is reset/reloaded, you can click the shortcut quickly (10-15 clicks) and multi copies could load. If shortcuts for other programs are run first, we cannot run multiple database copies. We could duplicate this 'multi load and only one load' option on other computers. LAN property is 'Elm City Database.exe -a'. The multi version problem sucks up 20%-30% of CPU for each copy which slows the effected computer to a crawl. Clear the copies out and the machine works just fine. This has to be a LAN tweak, but we are running out of tricks to try.
