Does the problem happen when you invoke Emacs as "emacs -Q"? If it doesn't, then something in your .emacs init file might be the culprit= . If the problem happens in "emacs -Q" as well, type M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET then invoke Ediff again. You should get a Lisp backtrace in a separate window. Post that backtrace here.
