I did deactivate VisMOD, but the result was the same. Here, I hope, is the relevant portion of the logfile:

Thanks for your word, vampire_pilot. Will check in now and then to see if anything can be done. I do realize, however, that my new tower - rather, the Intel bits - might have something to do with this. It's a shame: I can finally use VisMOD, but, as I've said elsewhere, there may be trade-offs to endure.
