Jo has already gotten lots of good advice from the list. Some of that
advice, however, as been of the form of "do this and hope" and then
gone on to mention how serious the problem might be. Jo, I fear, may
be more nervous than ever.
Here's my advice:
1. From what Jo says, it appears that somehow Stata's official
ado-files got erased or that Jo or some system administrator
made some change in Stata's parameters so that Stata can no
longer find its official ado-files.
Good luck. I've gone through this from start to finish just to prove to
you,
Jo, that no matter what happens, we have a plan on how to deal with it.
I work for StataCorp so now I am required to add, since you are running
Stata
9, that now might be a good time to consider upgrading to Stata 10, Jo.
