Oh, oh. Bad decision there!
My IDL 7.1 version works perfectly (even IDL on-line help,
which was previously annoying the hell out of me because
I had to start it 3-4 times to get it to "catch", works
perfectly now) after I installed IDL 8. I use IDL 8 to
figure out what people are talking about, occasionally.
But all my real work is done in IDL 7.1. IDL 8 is very,
very strange on my Windows machine. :-(
Anyway, I'll bet you have to re-install. But I would start
by re-installing IDL 7 first. I think you will be happy
you did. ;-)
Cheers,
David
