@DonAlfredo,
Many thanks for your advice. I've avoided Trunk/Trunk because it was a bit more bleeding edge, but I will do an install anyway and give it a whirl.
Having said that, I will also persevere with Fixes / Fixes since there is no downside with simply clicking 'start IDE' and it appears to run just fine.
EDIT:
Installed Trunk(2.1.0) / Trunk(3.3.1) and still get the annoying screen, BUT if I attempt to enter data (as in Browse for FPC.CFG, I get an access violation, see image attached. The same happens if I try to rebuild the CFG file. Every click spawns another AV until the application dies.
If I do not try to Browse for or to find the CFG file (if I try at all to do anything with the CFG file the application aborts when I click 'Start IDE)', and just press 'Start IDE', the IDE does indeed start.
Thanks again for your advice....
Regards,
Kevin
