|  How do I run two instances of Prime 95? I was told that with the Core Two Duo I need to run two instances of Prime 95 at once with the torture test to check after OC'ing. However I cant. When I double click the Prime 95 icon after the program is already running it just opens a new window that replaces the current one. It wont let me run two instances of the program. So how do I load down both CPU's 100% to check for stability?

| Its not working. I typed exactly the following into run: "C:\prime95" and I tried C:\prime95 But neither are working. They open the program but when I try to open it a second time it just closes the first instance. HOWEVER, the first time I tried it, it worked. But now that I restarted my computer it wont work anymore.

| I also tried entering in the following: C:\prime95 -A1 and "C:\prime95" -A1 once again they open the program, but will only keep one instance open.
