First, thanks for the advice on things to try. I finally found someone
with a similar problems on Unix and finally found a solution that
required me to delete the IDL_Workspace and .idl folders from my
computer. That has fixed the problem I was having and I am back to
work.

As for cleaning my laptop up, not really an option. As a work
computer, it is a whee-bit of an exercise to install a single program,
let alone wiping the hard drive. Probably doesn't help that I have had
at most 20 GB free on my laptop (out of 150) for two years, and
usually run much leaner. I think at this point I need to consider a
new computer rather than just replacing the hard drive.

So now that I have this problem solved, here is a new one (in case
anyone is interested). I tried to use the plot() function in IDL 8.0
(not the plot direct graphics command). I have tried it on multiple
computers with the same recent. The plot window appears to pop up and
the program immediately closes. I suspect I just need to upadte the
program but was curious if anyone had similar experience.

Thanks again everyone,
Mike
