No, don't reinstall DrRacket.  I believe we should be able to fix the
situation.  I'll list the steps below.

(To the others on the list: is there a simpler procedure than the one
listed below to invoke setup-plt on Windows?)

---

* In Windows, go to the Start Menu, and select "All Programs".

* Look for the Racket submenu and click that.

* You should see an item within the opened sub-menu called "Racket
Folder"; select that.

* You should see a window listing a few filenames.  Double click the
one called "setup-plt" and wait for a while: it will recompile the
packages you've installed, including DivaScheme.

Afterwards, try restarting DrRacket.  DivaScheme should be fully installed.
