[Newbies] Re: Vista compatibility

[Christine Wolfe]

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for responding.

Here's what I just did to try to figure it out:

I deleted my old log.
I restarted my computer.
I opened my image at 4:14
I opened the browser
At 4:16 I got the emergency evaluator.

Here is the new dump:

Interesting. Do you get a SqueakDebug.log when this happens? Usually, 
the emergency evaluator pops up when there is an error inside the error 
handling but there is a chance that the SqueakDebug.log has already been 
written at this point. If you can find it, please send it.
