I have just been trying this on my MP 1.33 system. I presume that you are using the startup setting marked in red below:
With that setting enabled, I displayed the EPG and then pressed the EXIT button on my remote control to display the exit pop-up and then exit the client. On restarting the client, the EPG was displayed as the first panel. So that sequence of actions is supported and ought to work.
Your screen shot shows a vestigial EPG. It looks as though all of the information that the MP client obtains from TV Server is missing, which suggests that TV Server is not running. Look at the services listed in Windows "Task Manager" to see if TV Server is present and shown as "Started".
I would suggest that you deselect the Show last active module... setting and see what happens when you start the client. You may find that the MP "Home" panel displays normally, but with a pop-up after a few seconds saying that TV Server could not be contacted
. Or it might all work correctly. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

Sorry for not getting back sooner C.S. ....and thanks for the input!
Should've said that.....the screen I posted previously .....is the 1st screen I was getting....and selecting 'back' or 'homepage' then takes me to a usable screen. Nothing apearing to be wrong with TV server at that point.
Should also add that...I'm controlling with a Mouse .... and not a remote!
I've just given it another go (after using PureVisionHD) and its working at the moment

Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up?
Those menu...
