Garbage··on A new use for the scroll bar

Garbage··on PuTTY 0.61 released
I have downloaded the latest version zip. When I am clicking on putty.exe icon, Putty screen doesn't come up. I can see the process running in taskbar, but no window is shown.

However, if I start putty.exe using command line with parameter <host_name> I can see the window.

I am using 32 bit Windows XP SP3 on Intel x86

Strange, because previous version was working perfectly fine! Anybody experiencing same?
