I just installed Kaspersky Internet Security 11.01 This causes emacs to fail on launch. However, if I disable Kaspersky, then launch emacs, then re-enable Kaspersky, emacs seems to run ok.
I tried adding emacs to the "Trusted app" list and to the "exclusion" list, but it didn't help. I read the EMACS-for-windows FAQ on anti-virus software, but didn't see any reference to this problem. I've also searched the web with no luck, surprisingly The error is: "Emacs failed to load its dumped heap back into its address space. The error occurred during the following step: Reserving upper heap address space. GetLastError = 487 Heap start: 0x01b00000 Heap commit: 0x01cd0000 Heap end: 0x01cd0000 This error typically happens when the system loads a DLL into the middle of Emacs' address space, preventing Emacs from loading its heap there. You have two options: 1) You can dump Emacs yourself: By doing this, you ensure that Emacs' heap fits around the DLLs in your system. To dump Emacs, download the emacs-(version)-undump-(arch) distribution file from the site where you downloaded the executable distribution. 2) You can build Emacs from source. This is just another way to dump Emacs on your system.
