When your projector starts up, it created temp files on the users hard drive. When the first one is quitting and the second is starting up, the second one can (and usually will) encounter problems trying to write its temp files, while the other projected has completed its clean up. (There are tech notes about this on the Macromedia site somewhere). What I've done in the past was utilize a little VB app that my first projector calls then quits. The VB app waits 10 or 15 seconds, (depending what I init it to do), then it launches the second projector. Problem solved. Since its two separate run-time experiences I'd write out a text file or setprefs to store variables or necessary data to be retrieved by the second projector.
