Whew -- got 'er working. Here's what happened.

Tried installing to a different directory -- no dice.

Made sure Data Execution Prevention was set to exclude ootpx.exe. No dice.

Completely turned off Data Execution Prevention -- success!

Changed Data Execution Prevention to just hit key Windows files -- success.

Put everything else on system back to normal (UAC on, AVG installed, uninstalled OOTPX, rebooted system, re-installed OOTPX to default directory) -- it worked. Only system change -- left Data Execution Prevention in "just key Windows files" mode.

Never liked DEP anyway, so I'm gonna leave it like that. For others who are having trouble and seeing nothing happening when you double-click the OOTPX icon, though, perhaps turning off DEP might be a place to start.

Thanks to so many for the great support today!
