I thought at first an image file was not being found, resulting
in some kind of hang-up. There is a networked directory
involved, and so forth. But we systematically worked though
all those possibilities and appeared to replicate the identical
environment on both machines.

It is really as though the display has gone to some
other machine! (Is this possible in Windows!?)

No kidding. The client is running IDL 6.0. I get the program to work
in both 6.0 and 6.1, but I do just run it in the IDL 6.1 VM.
Are there any known problems with the IDL 6.0 VM?

Don't know. I'm 3000 miles away and getting these kind of
numbers seems, uh, hard. :-)

No errors of any sort. Nada. Zilch. It is as though the
program were running, but just not where we can see it.
Can Windows XP machines be running virtual desktops?

Cheers,

David
