No, definitely only one copy running. VRPC doesn't run at bootup. It's locked
on the Taskbar, so one click & it's running. The PC is set to never hibernate
because, after several hibernations in a day, the W8 mouse bug kicks in & a
restart is needed.

On this occasion it happened when I went to the Process window as I moved
down the TOMS email following their suggestions. I have seen it a few times
before & often wonder if it's becuase the VRPC HDDs live on a USB drive.

Don't worry, if everything worked right you'd be out of a job.
