Multiple AC 18 files

[Anonymous]

Since I installed update 6000 when I open an extra plan file using open & tick Launch a new instance of Archicad, sometimes the file opens as it should but more often than not I get just an untitled file tries to open & hangs on the grey screen, I then have to ctl alt delete & close it via the task manager.
I can open a blank file (additional) then open the file I want from that & not ticking Launch a new instance of Archicad.
This is a pain in the rear.

I had hoped the 7007 update would fix it, but it hasn't.
I did a fresh install, but made no diffidence.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I used to have the same problem in ArchiCAD 18 sometimes.
To tackle the problem I used to startup ArchiCAD 18 again and open the second file from there.

Thanks Don't know, did it correct itself?

I'm using ArchiCAD 19 now but still has the same problem.

Not having this problem with AC18 6000 on Mac. Maybe it's a Windows thing

I am having no problems with 18 or 19 (Windows).
If it works OK sometimes then maybe it is just a certain file causing the problem?

Rogerdoge & Dontknow,

Perhaps you have the nVidia GeForce Experience software installed. It is like a customer experience software for your graphics card and may be interfering with the Inter-process Communication between ARCHICAD instances: Read more here:

I hope this helps.
