!Restored: Start-up and shut-down issues in AC9

[kevin b]

So I have two issues not sure if they are related or not:
First, everytime I start AC9, at the start-up dialog box, I do not get any recent files to choose from, I always have to browse to find a project, or start a new one. This only happens in AC, in PM I do get my recent files showing up.
Second, everytime I quit AC or PM (or when BG AC quits on its own in the background) it crashes, giving me both the Graphisoft Bug Reporter, and the Apple bug reporter. I don't seem to lose any info.
The no recent files shown thing is new since we upgraded to AC9. The shut down crashes, started several months ago in AC8.1. I tried reinstalling AC 8 back then but gave up knowing 9 was on its way, but the problem persists. I tried getting rid of everything related to 8 I could find and reinstalling 9 and still nothing works. Very frustrating.
Anyone else experiencing this, know of a fix, or have a really big hammer?

Excellent, this repaired our crashing on close problem as well. We had deleted the AC9 prefs but not the plotter prefs that were loose in the folder.
