The new version has things working nicely again.

I have no idea what caused it to suddenly stop starting, and I guess I'll never know.

Thanks Cetin.

Didn't find any patches. I also played with various settings, getting failure notices on some of them. Strangely, when reviewing settings for "virusscan" (what starts at startup) it had a note that it is not supported on WinME, WinNT and Win2000, yet it had been starting up fine since install over a year ago.
