You'll be pleased to know that I've got TMG started again, with the help of
the ever-prompt Dorothy. She said that it's hard to say what might have
caused the problem, but usually it occurs when you reboot the computer with
TMG open. And she could very well be right, as my computer has hung up a
few times recently, and TMG could have been open on at least one of those
occasions.
