opening 2nd instance of Vegas 22/21 --> total crash

HI all

not sure it's related to the general issues i have in this particular project ( reported here ), but I ported the project back to V22 from 21 for workflow reasons, and still get heavy crashes like once per hour with different crash reports each time, but mostly related to OFX and GPU stuff.

I now tried to port the project back to V21 ( by simply copying all the content and pasting it ionto V21, which usually works OK except that you need to redo all the track settings, names etc ), but opening V22 and V21 at the same time crashes both really heavily. Black /white screens, second screen hijacked and blocked in Windows etc. When I try right after opening both Vegases, it seems to remain stable for a while. But as soon as some work is done, opening a second Vegas ends badly.
And when opening 2 instances of V22, it's instant armageddon. Sometimes Vegas just disappears, sometimes everything freezes, and it takes a Windows reboot.
I also still cannot render that project, as it crashes Vegas.

Btw, how do you read / open the Vegas .erpt crash report files?
Thanks!
