Once I have a problem that was that Pharo was not finding the .sources, so it was trying to automatically download them from the internet. Maybe you are not connected or.... don't know, but worth to check. On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 11:19 AM, Hernán Morales Durand < hernan.morales@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Esteban. Yes, I know the issue does not happen on every XP SP3 box, because we have Pharo 2 running ok in my work. There is no antivirus running, and Pharo.exe is the only application that crash on start. However, I have dumped the crash with standard debuggers, drwatson and procdump. These are the links if you want to check them with WinDbg or another tool:

Procdump: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7XMfmjGRcXAWXJKdUY4eE1hQWc/edit?usp=sharing DrWatson: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7XMfmjGRcXAWnMtUGEwLXM3YXM/edit?usp=sharing

The dump was generated with: procdump -ma -i c:\Pharo2.0

and then launching Pharo.exe

To check the dump Dumpchk -a Pharo_130909_075733.dmp

I will continue checking later. Cheers,

Hi,

I just tested:

- open XP SP3 virtual machine - download windows app - open - play a bit, save

everything works fine for me.

Can you provide more information about the state of your system? (antivirus could be a problem, RO of the files too), whatever... essentially I cannot reproduce your case :)

Just to let you know the Pharo VM for the 2.0 Windows ( http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo2.0-win.zip) hangs during startup with an uncaught exception in my old Windows XP SP3. There is no .dmp or .log file generated.

This is the error signature provided by Windows

AppName: pharo.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: pharo.exe ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0004b73f

and I have attached the SysInternals "File Monitor" Log.

Cheers,
