I allowed everything like normal, but then I get an error message about a process could not be started.  If I try to connect again, as soon as I hit the connect button after choosing a server, I immediately get that same error message (it is instant).  That tells me something cannot start.  What is ParaView trying to do or start (maybe it has something to do with plink.exe from putty I’m using too)?  I cannot find any logs to tell me what’s being stopped so I can investigate further.
