I also redownloaded the program to be sure that it wasn't some weird bad binary or something like that, but the problem still happens. When I execute "emacs.exe" instead of "runemacs.exe" I get 2 windows, a windows console window and in the fore ground the emacs for windows window. When I execute the "about-emacs" in this window the console shows an error message that says this: (emacs.exe:7528): Glib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2712: You forgot to call gtype_init() (emacs.exe:7528): Glib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value !=3D 0' failed After this everything is the same. Thanks for your help, I'll keep searching. Saludos!
