Hi!
There is my code:

Shared Function PrevInstance() As Boolean
If
Ubound(Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrent
Process.ProcessName)) > 0 Then
Return True
Else
Return False
End If
End Function

this dosn´t work in Windows 98 or Windows ME. How can I do to see if an
application is already running?

Use a named mutex. See
