I have 3 instances running also. I noticed that I coincidentally have 3 applications open (Glary Main Prog, Glary Process Mgr, and IExplore.exe), and the start times of those 3 instances (shown under "details")seems to coincide with the times that each of the applications opened. Unless I read otherwise here, I'll assume this is correct. | |||
