I just got a new computer, and have never had this issue previously.

My Windows computer almost locked up and I see in task manager that I have 2 instances running of the same FAH cores. Double trouble!

I closed out the desktop client, and I see that I still have one instance running. How can I just get the desktop client running and no other?

Thanks.

Attempting to run two copies of FAHClient in windows is a really bad idea, as you've discovered.

when you installed FAHClient you probably elected to have it start automatically, which it does by invoking a script that's in the windows startup folder. If somehow you got two copies there, it might explain your report.

Would be keen to see the log file(s)!

It is possible to have multiple instances of FahCore_21, FahCore_22, and FahCore_a7 on a single system, it all depends on what hardware you have and how it is configured. bruce is correct in saying that a single instance of FAHClient.exe should be running on a single system.

I solved the problem by a fresh install and being very careful about it. All seems to be working normally now.
Thanks!
