New to Acrobat Pro (have v 9.2.0) and LiveCycle Designer (v8.2.1.xxx).
When I am working with documents/programs I like to have 2 separate instances open so that I can compare and more easily copy/paste.
For example, in MS Word I may have mutiple windows open each with different documents. If I am creating a new document or just want to copy/paste from 1 document to the next, having 2 different files open and visible at the same time is very helpful.
I can't seem to be able to open 2 different files (at the same time) in LCD such that both files can be viewed at the same time.
Is this possible and if so, how? Please advise.

Under general conditions it's not possible to run LCD twice on one OS.
But, depending on your hardware and OS you can use virtual machines for this task.
For example, if you have Windows 7 Ultimate you can download the XP-Mode from Microsoft for free, that you can use as test enviroment, which is really helpful.
