(Greetings, fellow co-conspirator (http://catb.org/~esr/ecsl/)) What do you actually see when it crashes? I ask because _sometimes_ when I start Emacs, I see a popup that says something like "Emacs has stopped working". The popup has a progress bar which moves left and right to give the illusion that Windows is looking for a solution to the problem. If you're seeing the same thing, then maybe the fix for your problem will also fix mine ... -- If you're trying to choose between two theories and one gives you an excuse for being lazy, the other one is probably right. -- Paul Graham
