Re: Fw: [gnu.org #1594791] pspp problem

[Harry Thijssen]

The problem described is a known MSWindowsXP issue. But as MSWindowsXP is
end of live since 2014 I guess there is no solution for it.

I would recommend updating to a newer MSWindows (or better Linux) version.
Or use an old PSPP version..

Stay safe
