I recently reinstalled FontLab Studio (latest version) in Windows 7. Now, when I double click a .vfb, it opens a new instance of FontLab. If I open 10 .vfb files, 10 FontLabs open. I had previously installed FontLab in Windows 7 and had no problems.
Does anyone know how I can prevent a .vfb from opening a new instance of FontLab? I know I can drag & drop or file/open to work around this problem but I'm hoping there's another way.
Perhaps related: help/about doesn't function anymore.

I assume, that’s a problem, which is not FontLab specific. I am on XP (German), but on XP I would start the explorer and open the menu Extras / directory (folder?) properties / file types. And then I would check, which commands are stored there.

the same is 'multiple instances' is also happening to me, although help/about is working.

The problem eventually went away on its own. The about page is showing up too.
Now the key combo for paste special no longer works. I tried changing the keyboard assignment but no combination will work. Now I'm using a custom button for paste special. FontLab Studio is a mysterious piece of software.

Is there any way to make Windows use only one instance of Fontlab?
