Can open ony one instance in Windows 8

[cordovan66]

I can open only one instance of xnview on my windows 8 laptop. Trying to launch a second instance takes me back to the one that's already running.

I've made sure that the "Only one Instance" setting is not checked.
I've tried versions 1.99.5, 1.99.6, 2.03 with identical behavior.

I've tried 1.99.5 on a windows 7 computer and it works fine.

Are you sure that "Only one Instance" is not checked??

I already addressed that issue in my initial posting.
