Second -- I cannot seem to open large epubs with v 7. I know that over 10mb won't open, but I haven't fine-tuned to find the actual boundary. These same files open fine in earlier versions. When I double-click in my file manager, Sigil never finishes loading and I have to kill the process with Task Manager. When I try to open a large epub from the Sigil interface, choose the file, the file browser grays out and Sigil freezes, and I have to kill it with Task Manager.
As I said, these might be due to gremlins in my computer. But if the problems are of interest to the programmers, I can research further and post more detailed information.

XP SP3 (P4 CPU w 2G RAM) here
No problem on saving, then closing 2 simultaneous Sigil Edits.
If you don't have over 1G RAM, your system may be using Virtual Memory (a section of your HD).
Run the CheckDisk tool: repair (Will ask if you want to do on the next reboot: YES ). Reboot (and wait for it to complete)
If you system HAS lots of RAM, you might get a 'Live CD' that contains: Memtest86 (Ubuntu Live CD's have this, but you can download a MEMTEST86 ISO and burn the CD). Boot the CD and let it run till it ends at least 1 full pass (HOURS of running, plan on a overnite run) or the screen starts showing multiple RED lines
(The eek, means you should at least re-seat the RAM, clean FAN and CPU Fins and try 1 more time before heading to the RAM store)
