It should either open the item or open you home page window. I have a Bug where I have home page to open and if I don't have Browser and email to starts (just email), it opens about Blank. There is two ways to cure it for a little while before it creeps up again. Go to Preferences appearance and set Browser and email to open at start up shut down preferences , Shut down SM2 start SM and its fixed. Or go to preferences browser and remove all content with the Box. Then choose use current page. and That fixes it for a while. about:blank should never come up for any reason. -- Phillip M.

Just a shot in the dark using Win XP. When you saved your files to the CD disk those files may have had their user permissions reset to Read Write Execute to 0 0 0. Suggestion: Create a folder (directory) on your hard drive then copy all the files from your CD,look at the folder on your HD for the file permissions and set all files from yhat folder to read, write, execute. Make sure there is an index.html in this folder so SM can automatically open the home pafe.
