Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thanks for the response, sorry I have been slow in responding. I have
just updated my source tree to rev1736 and recompiled. I get the same
problem. I compiled a debug version and started eeschema with gdb
insight with a breakpoint after the file opel modal dialog. However I
can't reach that part of the code because eeschema falls over before
this.

The problem ocurrs when I hover the mouse over the filename I want to
open. gdb gives me a couple of messages:

Lowest section in C:\WINDOWS\system32\xpsp2res.dll is .rsrc at 00011000
section .text not found in C:\WINDOWS\system32\xpsp2red.dll

This debug version seg faults. Here is the information from an insight session:

This segfault happens when I hover the mouse over the schematic file
in the file dialog. I'm afraid from here I don't really know how to
proceed. Any further help would be greatfully received.

If I use gdb with the release version eeschema, although producing the
two messages about xpsp2res.dll does not segfault, but shows the
dialog I explained in my previous email saying it cannot load the
schematic file.

Best Regards,

Brian.
