Hi Jim,

Do you need more RAM? That would match your symptoms. XP is pretty demanding - MS recommends 128MB so that means you need at least twice that much.

The XP Home ones are the only ones having the problem, and it is only on startup of the app. Afterwards, everything is fine. Even if you exit and restart the app, the 2nd run pops open right away.
