Great news!  Just downloaded and ran AC 7.100 successfully!!  (This is a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, Win 7, same that was consistently presenting the startup issue across the various releases of AC 7.0x0)  The panel has been redesigned and there is a variety of customization options available in Settings.  Looking forward to spending some time with it to more fully appreciate the new format and...
