That's not it.  Aside from nothing strange being in the startup file, some scripts do work: for instance one that I have (I forget if it's with the program or one I downloaded) that lets you mass-delete a selection of objects, actors and what not at once.  It works fine.  Similarly the deleteLights script has no issues, the Netherworks cloth kit package of scripts works fine, but I just downloaded Wardrobe Wizard 2, and none of its scripts do anything, but Semidieu's Shaderworks scripts, and SpiderShader seems to be fully functional.

I am honestly at a loss.
