The inital problem was that the CCP4 v 5.2 installation that had worked
well for months mysteriously stopped, giving instead an error box with
about a dozen lines of text beginning 'list element in quotes followed by
"C:\Program" instead of space while executing'. The problem did not
resolve upon removal of CCP4 v 5.2 and replacement with 6.0.

Several users suggested that the spaces in the TCL installation directory
name were a problem (making the question not so much "why did it stop
working" but rather "why did it ever work").

I uninstalled CCP4 and TCL (which was version 8.4.4 already, BTW).
I restarted the computer.
I installed TCL 8.4.4 and BLT in C:\Tcl as Administrator.
I restarted the computer.
I installed CCP4 v. 6 as Administrator.
I restarted the computer.

Result: CCP4i gives the same error message when I log in as myself, but
will run when I log in as Administrator.

The same goes for CCP4mg. A check of the environment variables revealed
that the CCP4 variables were only set up for Administrator. I manually
entered the variables for my username, then logged out and back in. --->
same error.

I can live with this situation, but I've heard it's not a good idea to use
Administrator as one's day-to-day login.

Anybody have other ideas?

Sincerely,
Anna Gardberg
