The latter was my guess, too. However, I suggest you add a notice to the Windows readme file to make clear that Windows 9x is still supported, but not as well tested as the more recent flavours of Windows. I have sent a bug report on this point. If there is more I can do to help you fix this would you please let me know. I would like to help you sort these problems out. >> - My mouse cursor does not behave as expected.

(assuming something > happens at all) 1. I select some text. 2. This piece of text is marked in yellow as selected. 3. I place the cursor above the selected text and press the left mouse button. 4. I try to drag this text to a different part of the buffer. 5. More text I hover over when dragging is selected in yellow. There is no dragging. There is not dropping either when I release the left mouse button. >> - Running v22.1 sometimes makes Windows explorer freeze or even >> crash.

Well, this is hard as I depend on external settings for running AUCTeX and Gnus... without these there is not much useful I can do with Emacs... ;-) >> All in all, I think the earlier version was much better integrated >> into a Windows environment > > Any details about this better integration? I mostly thought about the Windows explorer file dialogue which is missing with me (see above). Regards, Jürgen.
