I have a notebook that fails to show my variables in dark blue most of
the time--they all are black characters.  The code I am most interested
in also fails to run a Manipulate statement most of the time--it then
shows the Manipulate frame with "Abort" inside it instead of my plot. 
Any ideas?  Bug in version 7.0.0 for the Mac? 

Thanks!

The code: 
r = 0.25; infVar = .1; 
c = 0.2; 
P = 100000; 
rec = 0.01; 
infCenter = (r c)/P; 
infStart = infCenter/2; 
infEnd = infCenter*1.5; 
infIncrement = (infEnd - infCenter)/20; 
dt = 1; 

Manipulate[ 
 Clear[S, II]; 
 inf = infVar; 
  
 S[t_] := S[t] = S[t - 1] - inf*S[t - 1]*II[t - 1]*dt; 
 II[t_] := II[t] = II[t - 1] + inf*S[t - 1]*II[t - 1]*dt - 
    rec*II[t - 1]*dt; 
 R[t_] := R[t] = R[t - 1] + rec*II[t - 1]*dt; 
  
 S[0] = P; 
 II[0] = 100; 
 II[-1] = 
  100; (* So that Round[II[n]]-Round[II[n-1]] has a value for t=-1 \ 
the first time, when calculating new infections *) 
 R[0] = 0; 
  
 infTable = 
  Table[{n, Round[S[n]], Round[II[n]], 
    Max[0, Round[II[n]] - Round[II[n - 1]]], Round[R[n]]}, {n, 0, 
    500}] ; 
  
 ListPlot[infTable[[All, {1, 2}]], PlotStyle -> PointSize[0.01], 
  Joined -> True, PlotRange -> {0, 100000}, 
  PlotLabel -> "inf coeff " infVar], {infVar, infStart, infEnd, 
  infIncrement}]

most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
