Hi, I'm using Mathematica 5.2 on Win XP Pro SP2. The program opens fine but when I enter e.g. "2+2" into an input cell and press Shift +Enter, all I get is "Running...Untitled-1*" in the bar at the top of the window. Evaluation gets caught in a loop. Choosing Kernel|Abort Evaluation has no effect, so I have to go Kernel| Quit Kernel|Local, which works. I'd be grateful for any help! Thanks! John
