Alain, sometimes Windows does some weird things if its settings get messed up. Next time you want to see if it is already running try Alt-Tab several times to see all the programs that are running. There are other ways to check as well. David C On Sep 2, 2017 3:26 AM, "Alain Dormoy"

Solved. Removed ~/.conf/dbus directory and it was regenerated when  GnuCash restarted. It works fine now. Thanks everyone for your time. On 09/02/2017 07:07, Geert Janssens wrote: On zaterdag 2 september 2017 15:57:01 CEST John Ralls wrote: On Sep 2, 2017, at 1:56 AM, Geert Janssens

Thank you David. I don't think I'm starting GC more times than I'm shutting it down. If it's running I access it through the icon at the base of my desk, it's only if the icon is missing that I "start" GC. If I don't intend to use it for a long while I save whatever still needs to be saved
