    That found it! I tried to run POV as shell and it locked up. But the
only thing that ran before POV was Norton Anti-virus. Now I had Norton well
before this happened, but I did an update of the .dat file because of the
news about that virus. So I uninstalled Norton and now it runs!

    Now I need a virus scanner..... maybe I should complain to Symantec...
they just sent me some propaganda in the mail yesterday.

    A few tests to see if I really got it fixed are in order, but I am so
pleased that I may not have to reformat.
