tkenv gui works, then doesn't under windows 7

OMNet++ v4.6. Windows 7 Professional.

I have been using the supplied omnetpp.cmd from \omnetpp-4.6\bin for over a month with success, after a few failures (null pointers in OMNet) the OMNeT Eclipse editor will start, but when running a simulation the Tkenv window will no longer appear. I get the taskbar icon, but no window.

When I run OMNet++ using mingwenv.cmd which gives the bash shell, omnetpp works as expected.

I have rebuilt the OMNet++ 4.6 environment from the .zip file again with no improvement.

I deleted the .tklenvrc file for my simulation (as suggested in the "OMNET++ Tkenv/GUI doesn't appear anymore" question) but this has no effect. One could say, "Just use the bash shell" but I'd like to keep at a Windows level. Any ideas?

I would like to point out that the recommended way of running OMNeT++ simulations is to run them from mingwenv.

If you really have to run them from command prompt you must ensure that your path contains:

omnetpp_root/bin;omnetpp_root/tools/win32/usr/bin;omnetpp_root/tools/win32/mingw32/bin

Also be aware that <omnetpp_root>/bin/omnetpp.cmd is used to start the IDE while the simulations should be started from the mingwenv.cmd bash prompt. These two things are totally unrelated (i.e. the IDE and the simulations running in Tkenv)
