FTR, this problem was due to anti-virus s/w blocking AppleWin:

Hot Rod's post to cea2 on 2nd April:

"Long story short, AppleWin wasn't running because this software called Constant Guard Protection Suite was blocking it.  I found an option in it to manually allow AppleWin to run (override the 'blocked' setting), and all is well again."
