Works fine for me. Though I had to reload Mental Ray when I opened the second copy of Maya.

I have no idea - sorry

maybe something to do with your PC setup - I have always been able to open more than one Maya but with this new i7 I have had four versions open at the same time.

Never really needed to have more than one open though
