Bill,
I am having the same problem except I am running 21 June 2008 version although it thinks it 2 June 2008 version. The program goes into a loop displaying a series of OK windows. To stop the loop, I have to delete the windows till I catch up with the number of windows displayed.
Thanks,
Kevin Cooper.
