Hi John,

Much as I grouse about Microsoft, I have to admit that the
assorted versions of Windows haven't brought me immense grief.
Frequently, people will suggest that a given bug has something to
do with a new version of Windows. I then get all ready to point
the blame at Bill Gates, only to have to eventually admit that
OK, I _did_ put a bug in the code.

Exceptions have been in telescope control and one or two other
small areas where Windows really _did_ change in some way that
confused Guide. Not often, though.

I say all this because, while it's _possible_ the Windows
flavor is an issue here, I tend to doubt it. Especially so because
at least thus far, only Clay has mentioned the issue (anyone else?
it'd probably help a _lot_ if there were another instance of the
problem to study). Sad to say, it's most likely "my bad", just
in some way that is proving difficult to puzzle out.

That said, with it happening on 13 machines, one _does_ look
for common denominators. Everybody tends to configure Guide a
little bit differently, and my guess is that Clay tends to maybe
set up Guide so that dataset X is on, or turned green, or...
_something_ just different enough to cause the issue. (Though I
asked him to send me a 'startup.mar', and I didn't find any
smoking gun, nor was I able to use it to replicate the bug. So
I'm still digging into it.)
