CCL: IQmol (Win 7) crashes opening a QChem 4.0 output.out file

 Hi - (I'll answer my own question...) Andrew Gilbert the IQmol
 developer says this is bug for some Win7 users, which has to do with
 Win7 not properly loading the Babel plugin. Anyway, the workaround is
 to first draw a small molecule like ethylene, Select Force Field, and
 Minimize Structure. This forces loading of the Babel plugin. Then try
 to open the output.out file. I works for my Win7 systems.

 and display MO surfaces, etc., however it crashes whenever I try to open an
 output.out file from any type of Q-Chem opt, freq, or SP job. These jobs run
 successfully according to the output.out text, and they are processed correctly
 by WebMO, so why can't IQmol handle them? Has anyone else had this problem, or
 know a work-around?
