I get a list of solutions which starts appropriately, and then further down the list (usually from about words starting with "l") words which increasingly have no relation to the letters in the grid, either in number or in relevance to the three letters I have typed. The real oddity is that if I do exactly the same in VRPC running 4.02 (David, I hope it's OK to have it on both machines!), same version and same dictionaries, it all comes out quite correctly.
I wonder if the dictionaries have become corrupted. Going way back there were bugs in the code for handling dictionaries. So you might copy the dictionaries from the system that works to the one that doesn't.
