It looked like no one else responded
to you, so I'll give it a go.
It looks like your problem is not with
Lilypond, but with Ghostscript. Is Ghostscript 8.57 a stable version?
I'm running version 8.53 with no problems,
although on XP SP2, not on WinME.
Has anyone ever suggested that you try
a different OS (e.g. Win 2K or XP)?
I've heard a lot of bad things about
Win ME. Please don't take offense. It might be no problem for you.
Just my thoughts. Good luck. Lilypond
is a great program.
I am using a Microsoft Windows ME system 4.90.3000 on an Intel Celeron
computer. I would appreciate very much any help in getting going.
Faithfully Mark
