OK, Jonathan, thanks. Let's see if we together can get a bit further with solving this problem since we have very similar systems - mine works,yours doesn't - so all we have to do is find what is different. I'd bet it is something to do with the different history of LP installs on the two systems.First, a couple of questions: 1) Do you remember the version number of the earliest LilyPond you installed on this system? In particular, was it earlier than 2.11.43, released around March 08?
I bought the laptop in June and installed whatever the latest version was at the time.
I have only upgraded a couple of times, and it was in response to this thread, just to test it out. It's possible that I upgraded one more time before that. I always use the Add/Remove program tool built into Windows, accessed by the Control Panel. On Linux I always run the uninstall script that comes with Lilypond, but I don't know how to do this on Windows. Like I said, I don't use Windows regularly (...poking in the Windows partition now...) Aha! I just noticed the uninstall.exe file in the Lilypond directory! Should I try running that and then doing a fresh reinstall of Lilypond? Does the Windows Add/Remove GUI use this uninstall.exe file or does it use something else? I can try this after lunch if you think it's a good idea.2) When you upgrade do you use the uninstall utility that comes with LilyPond to remove the old version, or some other method? Trevor
