Greetings from the very cold and snowy Rocky Mountains.

I suggest that you re-install the system from start. I can't think of 
anything else.

I have been using LispWorks for two years now and have written close 
to 30,000 lines of Lisp for a commercial product and I have seen 
absolutely zero crashes (lots of my program bugs though :)

It has been, for me, a rock solid system. It *never* "crashes".  I 
would bet that there is something wrong on the install.

Hello Jack,

I did that. No luck, still crashes. I use LW Personal on Windows XP.

Will use the emacs mode and ctrl+x ctrl+f to open files.

Also, I have noticed, it only crashes when I open files that are on my
desktop. I have two files on the desktop that I work with right now. I
open first, compile it. Then I open the file dialog to open the second
file and it crashes. But when I moved those two files to a different
location (different disk) they open ok, no crashes.

I think it is a weird thing that is "unique" to a gui part of
LW on Windows.

Some off-topic question: do you know when LW 6 is coming? Should I
wait to buy it or if I but LW5.1 with support the upgrade to the 6 would
cost nothing?


Best,
