Why won't the compose window come up? (Write, Reply, Forward)

Since I updated to v38, I can receive and delete mail, read mail after right-clicking on mailbox name to open in new window (used to just left-click mailbox), but not compose a message, reply, or forward. No error messages, but nothing at all happens when I click the Write, Reply, or Forward button. I'm on Win7HomePro. What's up? Thanks!

OK, I downloaded a fresh copy, and it looks as if I'm OK now -- at least, the Compose window comes up again.

Yes, I'm on v38.2.0. (BTW, Help-Release Notes and Help-About didn't display results -- but Help-Troubleshoot worked, fortunately!)
