Yes, it seems to run fine now.  I was about to update my previous note  
here right after I updated that bug yesterday, and got distracted.   
Between my first attempt and yesterday, I did some Windows updates and  
rebooted the Vista machine.  When I get the chance, I'm going to  
uninstall and reinstall, and see if a reboot is really required after  
installing before you can run the program successfully.  I can't  
imagine why that should be so, but it's Windows, so I no longer ask  
such questions.
