Al, Bummer...
Next time PyMOL won't start or is acting freaky, can you try launching PyMOL via command line as follows: Start Menu->Run then enter: cmd Assuming PyMOL is in the default location, paste in the following line: "c:\program files\delano scientific\pymol\pymolwin.exe" +2 And then please send me the resulting output.
