Greetings!

Basically, emacs has crashed on Win XP/7 for me, every time while I closed
it, since 23.x. I'm on the latest release, and being completely fed up now,
I finally decided to do something about it.

The fastest way to provide a context and background of my problem is to
provide this Stack Exchange link:
http://superuser.com/questions/576512/emacs-24-3-on-windows-7-does-not-close-properly


@Eli told me to get in touch here:


Ask the person who produced emacs.exe to tell you where he/she

Thanks for any help you have on this one, people.

Best,
surio.
