Sam,
  I ran into this about a week before the APS Users Meeting. Right after I
upgraded to the newest version of Athena/Artemis/et al.   I did find the
solution.  Check in your system32 subdirectory (I think, it may be system) of
the windows directory.  There could be a DFORRT.dll located there.   The
DFORRT.dll file in that location was rather date, possibly from '99.  This old
file was set in the windows path, and it was accessing it even though newer
versions were available.  I found that replacing the old DFORRT.dll file with
the newer version fixed the problem.  You might have to do a google search if
you don't have a newer version on your computer.  If you can't find a newer
version of DFORRT.dll that works, I'll post the one that I am using up online. 

  
Sorry guys, I guess I should have sent something to the list about this
immediately..
