The default windows that are made available when you first go to the Game Room include either or both of the Mentor Lines and/or Visual Thinking windows. If either of these two windows is visible, then a mentor engine instance will be launched. It is this engine that is running when you first go to the Game Room. If you don't like it, close the windows and the mentor engine will be shut down. (Exception: if the Visual Thinking window is visible, and the Mentor Lines window is NOT visible, then a mentor engine instance will only be launched if the "Mentor" button is selected. Otherwise, you will see the data from the White or Black player, depending on which of these buttons is selected). All of this is covered in the manual and ReadMe. jm
