Bob:
Yes, I'm seeing the same, correct, window behavior in this latest beta.

To save a msg, I'll comment here on others' remarks about errors on shutdown or loading. There is one thing that has been happening to me, sporadically, that may be my own situation, or it may be more global.

There are times when I exit GE, Then I'll try to start GE, minutes or hours later, and get nothing, nothing at all. I have found that sometimes GE does not completely exit. It goes away from my screen, but it is still running as a process in Windows Task Manager (I'm using XP). As long as it is still listed in Task Manager, I can't start it again.

I've taken to checking Task Manager to be sure GE exited completely. If it didn't, I end the task in TM.

Now, sometimes GE takes a while after disappearing from the screen because it's writing out a large Myplaces file. That's what got me started with monitoring it in TM. But, overnight?
