What's the trick to running two instances and keeping screens saved?

[Tomlin]

Okay, I got these to work for the most part but I have 2 issues that I need to sort now that the 2 20.1" LCDs are here.

I was able to get the 2 instances to work on one machine, and then the other, but then somehow something got corrupted.

1 Machine's 2nd instance would only show the lines around the radio freq. info when activating the F10 page, but not the frequencies themselves. Everything else looked correct on that instance if I had a different page.

The other machine somehow now doesnt start up the 2nd instance without crashing, saying the path or file is not found.

I suspect some sloppy copying/relocating on my end but here's the real question:

To resolve this, should I:

A) Uninstall all the PMRJ software, or

B) Roll my PCs back to an earlier time using the Restore function?

Thanks, other solutions are welcomed.

YOu need to copy the entire directory to a directory with a new name. And then start the software and readjust, when all is as you like hit the "Q" to exit and save your settings. Next time you fire it up it should be how you want it.

Bob, thanks, but that is not the issue. I got it to work the first time I did it per yall's instructions. However, somehow something got corrupted, so to start over and fix it right, should I just uninstall it all, or 'roll back' my pc to a date prior to the changes?

Uninstall and reinstall.....If files are corrupted roll back will not help.

Thanks, that's what I will try tonight then.

Okay, I dont know much about how computers do their 'thing' but I uninstalled the PMRJ on both machines, restarted the machines, and of course, I forgot to take the shortcut out of my startup folder, and of course, PMRJ started on both machines (even though I 'uninstalled' it) and so I did what I should have done in the first place. I found the 'good' installation on each machine, copied them AGAIN, and placed them in a unique place different from the original, and then resized as needed, quit, and all is now well with the world of the Learjet sim at Eric's house!

Thanks again for the guidance,
