Another iMOV question:

Anyone know of a way to run two instances of a program on CE 2.11? I want to be able to use Jabber+MSN and Gtalk, but unfortunately, I can only log into one or the other with iMOV since the gtalk server doesn't support MSN and the jabber servers don't link to gTalk. I tried installing iMOV on my CF card and also in internal memory, but it won't let me run both simultaneously, it just opens one instance, no matter which one I tap on. Is there any registry hack I could try to run two at the same time?

Cheers.

No, this is something the program does itself, not WinCE.

The program will make a call to FindWindow() with its window class or name right at the start before it registers a window class and opens it. If FindWindow returns a window, it'll call SetActiveWindow to activate the already running copy, then terminate.

You could, theoretically, reverse engineer the program to block out the call to FindWindow, but that's a lot of hassle for something that probably won't work anyhow because of the TCP/IP stack
