when you closed TB it didn't shut down properly. It may still be
running in the background, but you can't see it. So, when you get
that dialog, cancel it, bring up the task manager [ctrl+alt+del] and
end TB that way. Now restart TB. Does this solve the problem? And
next time, don't Alt+F4 to close it. Instead, click on File, Exit
