I would expect to find some conflict like the one you've already sought.
In addition to looking for files like "c:\documents" , have you looked for
a conflict with "c:\documents and settings\jww\application" ?
The fact that it worked at some point and has stopped makes me suspect
that a conflicting file has appeared in one of these locations.
We'll fix this problem in a future release. Let me know how things work
out for you so we can be sure to address the problem you're seeing, if
it turns out to be something new.
Thanks,
Tom
