After I tried to open the 04Nov autophagy database from my home computer, Topograph seemed to disappear (not in the Processes list, etc.). I tried to start Topograph again. There was a long period during which my computer thrashed. It may already have been slowed down by some unspecified trouble. At one point I saw my Norton antivirus software flash up a banner in which it claimed that SONAR was "assessing security risk Topograph." Eventually I got a dialog box that said the application couldn't run and directed me to contact the manufacturer.
I restarted my computer and tried again, and once again got the "can't run" dialog. I am pasting in the text of the error file.
