Howard,

No, you are not alone. My copy of RR 2.0 seems to run out of gas 
after a while; when this happens it freezes on loading the plug-ins.

You ask if this is a "feature." There was such a feature made famous 
on the old "Mission Impossible" TV series. Remember the line: "This 
message will self-destruct in 5 seconds" ?

I have taken to keeping a fresh backup folder of RR 2.0. To 
reinstall, I first duplicate that folder (to serve as the next 
backup) and then switch to the clone. Relatively painless.
