Douglas,

I just managed to start Lightroom twice after one reboot.

But I had forgotten that I had reinstalled Java again. I run FreeMind
(a mind mapping application) that needs Java and I had reinstalled
Java, forgetting the havoc it plays with Lightroom.

After I uninstalled Java again (I can run Freemind under Linux
instead) Lightroom starts up time after time and seems to run fast
enough (for me).

There's something about this java-junk. It's been disturbing Lightroom (for 
me).

You're right ... it does help to click on the X ... it just takes ages
to go away.

I've gotta pack now. ... No more experiments. I'll just stock up on
memory cards and not bother off-loading while I'm away (or at least
off-load knowing I don't have to re-use my cards).

Take care and good luck!
Daniel
