blackbonner, I installed 13.3.895, but my General Preferences are set to launch to my Preferred Scene, which includes 2 work lights and my GROUND background set to white with ambient value 1. So when I open a new scene, I have the work lights and when I render, I have the GROUND ambient light (if I haven't made subsequent lighting changes to the scene). You might also want to set a Preferred Scene in General Preferences.
