My last config.sys alteration was in 2010. So no config.sys alterations could possibly be what soured it.

Also what I was saying about Stellarium is that there are some sensible commands there that you would think would be in Nightshate as well (not even implying that there is code is in common).

For example No interface for initiating scripts. The 'm' key press does zero. The startup is not completing. Some process is getting spawned and not returning but persisting. I only mentioned menus as an EXAMPLE of a startup process of allotting so many across and so many down structure for whatever gets put there and if the data count (labels for menu etc) is off, then the program can hang exactly like that. Could be something else. But that something is before the NightShade logo pops up.

Also it seems that the mouse polling remains active. So a loop (without a case match or interrupt to exit) that looks at the mouse on the fly by seems to be going strong. Whatever it is it takes a system command from TaskManager to shut it down.
