The Windows version of VLC can open multiple instances by default. Go to: Preferences > Advanced (check the "Advanced options" box at the bottom-right corner of the preferences menu), and make sure that the box for "Allow only one running instance" is unchecked.
worked

I don't really see a question, and what is the trouble that you're having? They won't play? They skip?

Could very well be true, but this should be corrected starting with VLC 0.8.6 as FFmpeg now plays WMv3 files using the VC1 decoder. It is also backward compatible to Microsoft using the --codec dmo switch.
However, I never had a problem with WMv3 files using Microsoft's DMOs and VLC because I had WMF 9 installed along with WMP 10 and kept them updated. I also had WVC-1 installed for Microsoft's VC1 which also worked in VLC.

As I recall this is a known issue and I believe it exists only in the mozilla plugin.
You can try looking at the trac reports to see what kind of progress has been made on this issue. I haven't followed this one for some time so didn't go looking for it.
