Hi John, I've done this on more than a dozen TiddlyWikis with no problems. I'm really at a loss now.
Perhaps the TiddlyWiki you are trying is causing the problem somehow. I can only suggest now that you download a new TiddlyWiki and go through the procedures again. Maybe now you know the procedures you can try a clean start.
