It is actually another copy of windows that has been started to make a thumbnail, and that is hanging on exit because the portaudio library deliberately hangs. The thumbnailing should not be attempted on windows (as it is not used by windows) - 1st bug, *and* we should be compiling portaudio with a flag to make it not do that hanging (bizarrely, there is a flag to turn this behavior off - I have no idea why they think it is useful). > > Now, admittedly my installation of WinXP is pretty dirty from me > installing and removing many programs that I've tested.

Can you submit a bug to the mailing-list-software project (I think it is Savannah or something) - I once had similar experiences, its just that no-one tells them I think. Partly because it is not completely obvious where to submit to - I think when you are creating an account there is something at the bottom of the page about who runs this mailing list stuff. > > 4) I see, in a previous post on this list today, references to 0.9.7.

Jeremiah has created 0.9.7 .exe's for Windows (they live in www.denemo.org/downloads) but, unlike the Linux builds they have serious regressions (as well as great new features). Only worth looking at, probably, though I would very much appreciate feedback on what they are like. > > This is a spectacular program and worthy project.
