It just starts normally, Eberhard.  No error messages, it just opens the 
normal e-Sword application.  All the Bibles show with their abbreviated 
acronyms.  I click on the Bible of choice and nothing happens.  Usually 
if you highlight, for instance Genesis, then a chapter, it opens to the 
first verse of the chapter.  Instantly the words come on the page.  Now 
it stays blank.

They install KJV+ on installation, so I made sure to put the bbl files 
in the folder that contained the KJV+ bbl.  It should have worked.  It 
always has before.  In fact when I installed it on my 32bit version of 
Intrepid, the whole thing took just a few minutes.  When I first opened 
the program, it worked perfectly.  This is the 5th installation I have 
made since Feisty, so I am pretty sure I did things right.  Back in the 
Feisty and Gutsy versions, you had to install a cab file and a couple of 
dll's, that is why I thought maybe that might be the problem.  The fact 
that are no error messages is the reason I brought it to the List.  I 
was suspicious it was either a 64bit bug or something like that.

The way you had me open the program, it opened the same as when I open 
it using the direct e-Sword open.  I am at a loss.
