David, I'm not sure if this is an old message. But, just in case you still
need some help, I tried running your program and found no problems. To make a
cylindrical or spherical plot, you first need to execute the following command:
<<Graphics`ParametricPlot3D`;
This command will load the standard package ParametricPlot3D.m.
Then, you will need to execute the following command:
SphericalPlot3D[2, {theta, 0, Pi}, {phi, -Pi, Pi}];
This should produce the results you are looking for. If you need a soft copy
of the notebook that I created, please let me know.
Best Regards,
J. Batista

Hi Dave,
maybe you tried to call SphericalPlot3D before loading
Graphics`ParametricPlot3D`? In that case there are two functions named
SphericalPlot3D in two different contexts. If you do not want to restart the
kernel, try Remove["Global`SphericalPlot3"];
hth,
Peter
