Juliana,

I suspect the reason no one has answered your post is that you have not 
provided much information to work with.  /Something/ must have happened 
to your computer in the last week.  Did you do a system update?  Did you 
install new software?  Perhaps a block of RAM went bad -- you could run 
a hardware test to find out.  (That happened recently on one of my laptops.)

The bottom line is that I cannot see any way to diagnose the problem 
simply on the basis of the information provided.  That Athena worked one 
day and not the next suggests something changed on your computer.
