Demeter uses a program called gnuplot as its plotting back end.

What happens when you fire up gnuplot directly and try to make a plot? 
This is done by going to the Start Menu, Demeter with Strawberry Perl, 
then Gnuplot shell.  (Alternately, in the file manager, go to the 
location where you installed Demeter, then 'c\bin\gnuplot\bin',  then 
double click on "wgnuplot.exe".)

It'll look like what's shown here:

At the command prompt, type

   plot sin(x)

It should be a sine wave and the tics on both axes should have numeric 
labels and the legend should say "sin(x)".

If not, hopefully it will provide some feedback that hints to the problem.




I am suspicious that your anti-virus software might be blocking access 
to some file needed by gnuplot to manage fonts.  That's something you 
might look into (or get help from your IT department).
