SPSS hangs
DeLa
open, commands are not executed, and the "exit" option in the File... menu
is greyed out.
No transformations pending (greyed out also), happens with every file,
unable to close SPSS other than forcingwith the windows task manager.
Eror message (after giving a command through the gui): the processor is
currently executing a command. It can not execute this command before until
it completes the previous one.
Restart of program and/or computer does not help.
If I had enough hair to, I'd tear it out.

Some extra information:
- re-install did not help
- XP prof, 512 MB ram, version 12.0.1 stand-alone
- Apparently the problem comes from the 'spss manager' which does not
succeed in opening an output window (when opened by choosing menu window all
there is to see is a frame with empty buttons); I work around by starting
spss, open draft output, then spss works, as soon as I open a new output
window, spss hangs, using draft output, I can work
- local supplier could not help

Problem 'solved'.
After a nights sleep, I figured that the error was caused by something that
had to do with the options of the output window. I went into the option edit
dialogue and checked options that i had recently changed. And there was the
font for the titles in the output window that I had changed to a font that
we use for our company print-style. I set it back to Arial, but spss hang
again upon exiting. Only this time it let istself be killed by windows and
exited completely.
Then I went into the registry and deleted every key that had to do with spss
output in the current spss version (of course, after backing those keys up
first).
Problem solved, spss works fine now.
I hope that some day a user with the same problem will be relieved to find
this 'solution' after a search in some archive.
