Subject:

- The box that blinks on and off actually *stays* on the screen. it is not in fact empty. It says"
"Could not create the view: An unexpected exception was thrown." This window has a "Details>>" that shows the same NullPointerException I pasted from the error log earlier.

- Additionally I see an actual dialog box titled "Problem Occurred" that says:
"'Platform Command Processor' has encountered a problem.

Error"

with an "Ok" button and "Details>>" that simply shows "Error".

- I found a set of ".bak" files on a mod date search and copied them all to their respective places, but that had no effect. What's the point of a "bak" file if it's not backing up something important?
- I also found two .pref files that were not backed up. If they contain critical configuration, a comparison of them with another R8 install that's not borked revealed no obvious relation to font/theme setting changes.

- Is is normal for theme settings to utterly rape a "Gold" product from IBM? I'd like a charge code to bill my lost time to IBM for their defective "IDE". I feel like a beta tester, except I'm squandering critical work time in the process.

- Guess Acronis will have to save my bacon again; if that doesn't work I guess I'm down to the moronic winblows fix-all: re-install. Thanks, IBM!
