After googling about this, I think I've managed to get the information (Menu: View > Lower Pane View > DLLs). I'm attaching the list of DLLs that appear in the lower pane when I select the "emacs.exe" process in the upper pane. As you can see, "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" is not listed there, but I don't know whether some of those DLLs depend ultimately on "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" (I'd say no, but I'm not sure). Is there a way to get the full dependency tree? Also, note that I've extracted this information from a normal (not hung) session, because I killed the last hung session. Do you need me to report this information from a hung session? -- Dani Moncayo
