From: dingdongdingding on 18 May 2010 04:56 Hi ! When I try to open a text editor many times, I'll hit a limit even though I can still run other programs. Is there a limit to the number of instance a program can be run ? Any way to increase it ? Thanks very much in advance.

Definitely, there is a limit on how many instances of a program may run at the same time. It would be dangerous to your machine's health for you to try to expand it yourself. Instead, open more programs from within the first instance. Easier to keep track of anyway. Just use File; Open; and open the document/whatever from within your program; do not try to start the program again. You might get better results if you explain what program it is and why you think you need multiple instances of it. Word, for instance, will let you open program after program from within it, right up to where all your memory is used. But if you try to start another instance of it, it just takes you to the one you already have open. Most programs work that way, some will let you have 2 instances running, most won't. And not many will allow more than 2 instances but some will allow as many as you have RAM for. HTH, Twayne`
