Hi Ok, so here's some more details.
First off, it seems to work fine right now, also, it seems another quirky thing is gone. The quirky thing- for some time now the calculator always rounded. I don't know why, I'm almost certain that I didn't change any settings to make it do this. But, it doesn't anymore. I poked around with it some and it started returning very funky things, and they started getting funkier, for instance most multiplication began returning 10 and 10 only (except for things like 2*3 which was still 6). Addition seemed, for the most part, fine. Division always seemed ambivalent about the decimal. I rebooted my machine and it was still funky. Maybe more so, but there were only so many tests I could perform before it magically fixed itself. I tried it in Basic and Scientific, alternated between the two. Then I decided to see how it worked in Advanced. A menu popped up "Changing Modes Clears Calculation" that I had NEVER seen before. Then everything worked fine in every mode and it stopped rounding. I hope this isn't too vague, and I'm not making anything up. At this point I couldn't tell you if it in fact was a bug in the software or some other thing that I don't understand. If you'd like any other specific information build information feel free to ask and I'll send it.
