There is a problem with the clock.spx file (well, not really).
I got a reply from the author of the program.  The problem is
that windows ignores the extension name on files such as clock.spx.
When it tries to find clock.spx for the options menu, somehow it gets
very confused with clock.exe.  I first encountered the problem when running
the windows clock as an icon while installing screen peace.  The solution
is trivial:
Rename clock.spx to jhbdfgs.spx or some such.  Likewise, rename any
of teh other files that might cause a conflict.
