I appreciate the replies, when I close out the newest bitcoin wallet I get the popup saying not to shutdown until the window disappears..  it never does disappear, and I have to force close the client.. after the popup window though, it will say no wallet loaded, so I guess the most I should have to worry about is reloading the chain..      any tips with the further info perhaps?..   It's strange that no one else seems to experience this..



btw.. I am running on a quad core with 8gb ram and an ssd..  (blockchain and application data are on a separate hdd though)   

edit* also, it is the 0.9.3 bitcoin-qt.exe wallet.. same happened with 0.9.1..
