Martin,
I don't use TB, so this is a shot in the dark: does it
make use of an .INI file ? This is a bit of a jump,
but I've had regular, periodic "NO invokes" of the
PillarSoft EE editor (_not_ their deluxe EEE Editor
program, which I rarely use). The cure seems to be to
delete the .INI file, and thereby force it to create a
new one. This morning, the same exact thing happened
with the Decalc calculator applet (the next to most
recent version, I think). That was probably a first,
in my long use of DECALC. Killed its .INI -- in this
case replacing it with the stock one from the
distribution archive, after I found it wouldn't build
a fresh one on its own -- and after that I'm back in
business, calculating away.
But even if this is a common cure, it begs the
question of *why* good .INIs get corrupted ?
