If I try 2 VRPC starts in quick succession it really messes with the PC and goes
to VRPC fullscreen with a continuous hourglass frozen and alt-enter not
changing from full screen. Going to Windows Task manager and doing cancel on
menu goes to a full black screen. Then the only way out is going back to Task
Manager and quitting VRPC.

itself.
