Ok, ok.
CLI is something I choose to stay away from.

Good. Most people shouldn't use computers.
I'm
not against learning it now, but it does seem to be a lot to learn.
Windows mentality -- yeah, GUI, things work, reinstalling WORKS, less
brain damage then having to lean the WHOLE CLI stuff.
Don't be stupid.
I mean are YOU
going to help me go step by step with the CLI? If so, I'm here to learn.
Excellent!
Open a command window and type the word "pan" (no quotes), then
press the <Enter> key.
But if I'm expected to choose between learing the entire CLI before I can
ask a question or reinstalling, I'll reinstall, solve my problem & my
head won't hurt. I've choose to learn Linux because of the "free" spirit
& simplicity.
General purpose computers are *not* simple. Never have been, and
never will be.

Have you tried running it from the CLI, to see if there are any
messages?
Also, have you renamed .pan2?

Hopefully, because you obviously still have the Windows mentality...
