Thanks. Still a lot of v3.5.x versions to release left.

Ah, I will try v3.4 later. I tend to get the latest stable versions. Are 
there any bug reports about the Windows XP issues like my startup 
crashes?

I didn't even notice it was a 32-bit LO. I also don't even see a 64-bit 
one, but if it is worse than 32-bit then I don't want it. BTW, 32-bit 
v3.5.2 LO on my 64-bit W7 HPE worked fine so far. :)

Now, I just need to get it working on my old Windows XP Pro. SP3 
machine!
