I no longer am able to open two Solidworks windows what happened?
I run dual monitors and sometimes it is nice to run too two copies of Solidworks for editing properties, referencing documents ect...
I realize the second copy does not save a journal file but all the editing of actual files I do in the original window.
When you start the second instance, SW always feels obligated to warn you about its inability to save a journal file. I often have that dialog box appear behind another window. If that happens, it waits for user input indefinitely, giving the impression that SW has not started. Try using alt-tab to flip through your windows and see if the dialog box comes up.
No luck the SW launcher appears for a second then disapears.
I accidentally pressed the question answered button.... Ugh how do I undo that.
Generally a message prompts about the design journal but you must see another session running. Do you see another SolidWorks process running in the task manager.
BTW any chance you running a network version ??

Oops you can't undo that
