How do I stop Crystal Reports 2013 from opening new program instances?

Hey everyone,

I need some help. I've scoured Google and I can't seem to find a solution to my issue, although I did find something close it was no cigar. When I open any .rpt my Crystal Reports 2013 launches a completely new instance of the program. When my coworker launches them, they open in the tabs in the instance he already has open. How do I make it where when I open saved .rpt files that they all open in the same instance in different tabs? I have Windows 7 Professional.

Originally, my IT group mistakenly installed an older version of Crystal Reports and then installed Crystal Reports 2013 prior to removing the other program. After 2013 was installed they removed the other program. Currently, Crystal Reports 2013 is the only Crystal Reports program that I have installed.

Do you have other versions of Crystal Reports on the same machine like CR XIR2 or Cr 2008?

It says Crystal Reports.

If you right-click the .rpt file icon and select properties. What does it say on the Open With line? Is it Crystal Reports or a link to CRStartup.exe?
