Hi David,

I gave up on 8.0 after about two weeks of the vanishing workbench (Windows 7, 64-bit). At that time, there seemed to be plenty of people having the same experience and complaining about it here. Just this last week, I decided to give 8.1 a go, since the grumbles seemed pretty much to have gone away. But I got the same as you - instead of just vanishing like before, the whole machine seizes up - no task manager, nothing. If I'm lucky, I can still shake the mouse pointer in frustration before switching off. Admittedly, it happens less often (say, twice a day) than before, but after two days, I was back on 7.1.

Utterly hopeless... agreed.
Greg
