Well you could use API-calls instead - here is some commented (and 
uncommented) code...

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow ;
    IN WIN32API ;
    STRING cNull,STRING cWinName

IF WinExist(myapp)
         WAIT WINDOW 'MyApp already started ...' NOWAIT
         =BeepW(4)
         WAIT WINDOW ''MyApp already started ...'' TIME 3
         CANCEL
ENDIF
