That worked!   Thanks so much Allan.    I executed the delete command  
you suggested and was then able to open a new projects window.  I  
dragged my old files into its drawer and all is well.     I do not  
use a dual monitor set up.  The problem seemed to arise after I  
installed a plugin for Quicksilver that had a TM icon, but with a  
name I did not recognize. I just reinstalled QS and see that plugin  
is no longer available.    I am guessing that was the problem.

I know how interesting it must be to work on all the cool cutting  
edge developments that are coming out, rapid fire, and admire you  
very much to take the time to help with this problem.  I enjoy  
watching from the sidelines since little tidbits fall my way from  
time to time that I can understand and are ever so useful.  TM is now  
an indispensable part of my life and I simply love it.
