Hi Peter

Thanks for the report. 0.6.1 is build with an older toolchain so it
might be that it is not Windows 7 compatible. Would you mind trying
the latest 0.7.4 build from pspp.awardspace.com ?

Have fun

BTW If you use the "single user" version, install it on a separate map
and don't install a desktop link, it won't effect anything on your
computer. You can easily remove the map later and this complete 0.7.4
installation is gone.
