Hi joesc1,
1. Please make sure that the OS is up to date.
2. Have you tried re-installing the Genie app?

4. Does the issue persist on your other computers?

1. Yes, Win 7 OS is up to date. No items on Windows Update.
2. Yes, same issue
3. No, only after I installed latest version on 11/4
4. This is my only Windows 7 system
I probably should have included my Win7 configuration. It's 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 with no available updates on Windows update.
Thanks
Joe
