I copied the CHS exe's over the old version and now when I double click on the tray icon I get a blank gui... just the menu bar shows.  Not sure if this is something I did or if it's a bug, though.

you should be able to just copy over the exe, and yeah a blank gui would be a bad thing Sad
did it give its normal balloon messages in tray saying its starting up and ready?
maybe exit and restart and make sure you wait some seconds before double clicking.

I reactivated balloon tips and they showed up fine, but still a no-go on the GUI.  I don't get any error indications.  When you copy the files from the new version over the old, should you copy over all files?  I just did the ones in the main directory not the subfolders (figured that would just lose my settings/database).

hmm i wonder if i should pull this version until i get more reports..
you really should not need to do anything but copy over the exe.
let me test a new install.

can you make me a screenshot?

the only thing i can think of is
look at status bar.. does it say it is "cleaning/compacting" the data?

No, it tells me what the active window is...  I'll try rebooting.

Kevin

Rebooting changed nothing.  The menus do seem to work.

ok i bet i know what's wrong, but not why it's occured for you
i'll bet somehow it's "docking view" has gotten messed up and it's just that all the docked windows are "closed"
maybe the docking preset files got messed up, or something like that.

The same thing would happen if you somehow dragged all your docking windows off the main form and then closed them.

Try choosing another docking preset from the "Presets" menu.  You should see views for "Standard" and others to choose from, if not then your installation is missing these and that would explain the problem, and you should reinstall.
