A DISCOVERY!!

Thinking that the GPF problems might revolve around the multiple installs of 
SIMPOL during its development, I uninstalled it, deleted the C:\program 
files\SIMPOL subdirectory it left behind, and got into regedit to remove all 
references to SBNG and SIMPOL that were also there (except for MRUs).

Upon reinstalling, all works much better and has not GPF'd so far.

Thot you would like to know...be sure to copy off your registration before 
uninstalling!

I have done similar here after doing benchmark/stability tests on the box 
and changing the graphics card that was the source of some of my grief.
I still have gpf when doubleclicking desktop.smp but it eventually starts 
and doesn't do it again. Using the menu shortcut hasn't caused one yet. I 
still have them sometimes but now not everytime when F4 + F5 debugging a 
large project. Perhaps my system is more stable now.

I took a note of the files and mod dates in the SIMPOL\bin dir before doing 
the uninstallation. Any file mod date before 29.09.2007 is listed below.
The listed files below were not changed by the first overwrite installation 
or by the subsequent clean installation. ie I found no difference in the 
clean installation except for "fcgd1_32.exe" which was not reproduced
in the 
clean installation. There were several files copied to windows\system32 but 
the dates matched in the install log.

control panel/remove programs listed all the version of simpol since my last 
uninstall and I noted and deleted those and other sbng/simpol entries in the 
registry.

The file "simpol_wxwn.api " is not up to date and probably explains
why the 
wxprintdialog() is not recognized by intellihelp or the postprocessor after 
compiling.

I am envious of your result! I am still wondering why a slower computer does 
not gpf under similar circumstances. More tests (yawn) on this one to 
follow.
Cheers, John
