Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.7.0.msvc10
Windows 7 Pro x64
The Keep Single Instance feature is not always working. When alternating
between opening POV files and INC files by double clicking on a file in
Windows Explorer, sometimes a second instance of POV-Ray is created.
I haven't been able to determine an exact sequence of actions that
produces this result. Though I have noticed that POV files like to go in
the first instance, and INC files in the second instance.
Mike

Is it possible you sometimes use 32-bit and sometimes 64-bit version?
Or otherwise have multiple versions of pvengine(64).exe on your system?

You are correct! How do I fix it?

You can use Control Panel > Default Programs to associate file
types with pvengine64.exe. Also make sure all your desktop and
start menu shortcuts point to that version (or if you don't know
exactly what the problem is you could also rename pvengine.exe
to pvengine-hidden.exe to prevent accidental usage).
Note if you actually have multiple versions installed, Windows is
notoriously bad at changing file associations betweens *.exe's with
the same name.
