Error: The Client software could not initialize with SPSS Server at .

Troubleshooting

Problem

When I launch SPSS, I get a dialog box titled SPSS for Windows that pops up and reads: The Client software could not initialize with SPSS Server at. French: Le logiciel client n'a pas pu s'initialiser sur l'ordinateur local. My only option is to click the OK button, at which time the SPSS Server Login screen comes up and the only choice I see in there is Local Computer. I can either click OK or Cancel. Clicking Cancel aborts everything while clicking OK leaves me with an SPSS process running on my system, but the program still doesn't launch. This didn't used to happen. What is going on?
