This is odd i was working on 2.53 last night and i just ran it again and now the user pref pops up when it starts and will freeze blender if i directly close it. so in order to close it i have to click on the background so it goes behind blender then close it.
The other issues is now my previous scene that i made last night some how has become the default start and if i click new it just loads my scene instead of default cube.
should i reinstall blender or is this a feature that some how got turned on that i just need to turn off?
