      Ever since I updated my pro-version 6 several weeks ago, I have found a few quirky startup behavior problems than never happened before. I have thought it was me and not the software, (and that still may be the case). Please advise:

      On start up, sometimes the menus come back as I had them set, sometimes they bunch up on the top row and I need to re-distribute them. Not the main menus however, only a few such as the soap bubble, space design, sand box and ruby panel.

      On start up I get the pencil, even though I had downloaded the two files required for starting with the arrow a long time ago. I have re-downloaded them in case there was an up date, also, these files do not show up in my plugins list nor anywhere else in the tool bars. They are listed in my explorer in the plugin folder, are they even shown in the menu?

      In any case, I am tired of the extra clicking.

      Thanks in advance for what I am sure is a simple fix that I will be embarrased for asking about.

      Jim

        Jim, I saw this quite often on another pc a couple years ago. As a matter of fact it was the topic of my first post on the old forum. I have no idea about your start-up entries, but the answer to my post was that the VC was at fault. I have seen it once in the last year. I never could find a definitive solution to the rearrangement of menus, but after a couple of menu adjustments everything started up fine for awhile, then it would rearrange itself: cycle started over.

        Good luck,
        Hank

          It may have to do with your windows account not having administrative rights.

            Thanks for getting back to me- sorry i haven't responded to the comments - been dividing my time between this and the new SU.

            My computer is a three year old Dell Inspiron 8600, 1 gig ram and Nvida VC. No problem with the windows account admin rights. The one thing in hardware that changed was I added a second monitor at about the same time I upgraded to the new SU version. I haven't taken the time to back track my steps and remove the monitor and then re-load the earlier version of 6 - hopes are to avoid this.

            As you experienced Hank, the setting work fine for a few times, then rearrange. I have saved the startup template several times. Very strange. I'll post any resolution to the problem, if found.
