Hi,

You don't say which OS you are using, but problem No1 sounds like you are on 
some flavour of OSX.  This operating system (for various arcane reasons) can't 
auto-open a GC file that you've clicked on, it always re-opens the most recent 
file.  File menu should give you a list of the 4 most recently-used files, are 
they dead links?

Do you get any error message?  is there anything in a trace file (see the FAQ 
for more on that)?  Is it the same OS on both computers?   Can you open & save 
other files that are in the google drive on both computers?
