I started using it this afternoon, and soon learned that I could not work because the layer palette was missing. Also, there was no texture set window either.
I am not entirely sure to get what you meant by Layer Palette (feel free to share a picture), but if there is an issue with the UI, you can always reset it under Window>Reset UI.
If the window is still missing, try to disabled the secondary screen (if there is a secondary screen) and sometimes the missing window reappered.
Keep me posted.
