When I run Modelsim, it seems to start ok. As in the image. But I can't seem to start the simulation. Actually it's probably more accurate to say that I can't STOP the simulation, as it appears to be running. And "Run" in dropdown menu you get when you hit the "Simulate" button is greyed out. When I hit "Break" it doesn't do anything, just keeps on running. When I look in the Task Manager, it says vish.exe is using 65% of the CPU. I tried to issue a break in the "Simulate" menu, but it didn't do anything. I tried to quit, and it won't quit. I have to kill it with the task manager.

This is Modelsim 10.1d. (I know this because I can still go into the HELP menu and click on About!) Does anyone know where I can download maybe another version, slightly newer? Maybe that will work.
