That's what my problem is... when I look at the tab there is no check-box for Make single instance !! :)

All I have is 2 text boxes, 3 drop-down combo boxes and a button... for the following....
Assembly name: Root Namespace:
Application type: Icon:
Startup object: Assembly information:

There is no option to make my app single instance. I believe that when I defined the windows application project I did make it single instance, but it is now no longer single instance and I find a was to change it back and set it up correctly.

Thanks in advance anybody who knows about this bug... and if there is a way to fix it. Have a great day!

 In Visual Studio 2005, in your Project Properties (double-click on
 MyProject), under the Application tab, there is a checkbox for "Make
 single instance application".
