I found a note on Google forum that mentioned the problem being with 
using a 64 bit program on 32 bit machine or something like that.   I 
also found a note where the new program loads silently instead of 
letting you know the progress.   Then it later told me that the program 
was running, but it never displayed???????     I went into task manager 
and it did not show up.   I shut down the computer and restarted and 
then launched it and got my old desktop version back with my places on 
the left side...    The biggest problem with Google is that it uses too 
many kids from all over the globe who don't have any practical 
experience with the product and don't have any "skin"in the game.
