There is a critical file in BB that the program must be able to write to when BB exits. This file controls a lot of different things, and if BB should freeze, crash or otherwise is unable to make a graceful exit, that file can easily become corrupted and that can cause a wide range of issues, some of them exactly what you report here.

Also, it is important that you run BB as Administrator in Win7, also important that BB NOT be installed to the "Program Files" folder, you should accept the default install at c: bb -- IF YOU INSTALL BB TO PROGRAM FILE IN THESE LATER OS'S THE OS DOES NOT LIKE ALLOWING AUTOMATIC WRITING TO FILES as happens when BB exits.

There is a routine inside BB that allows for us to automatically rebuild that critical file, though.

Inside BB, under the Options menu, perform a "Return to Factory Settings" - which will reassemble that file and should do exactly what it says, and very likely will allow you to see all thoswe things inside BB again.

Good idea to make sure you have not installed to Program Files folder first, and that you are logged on as Administrator.
