It's a GUI frame. Emacs is invoked with: > "DDD1\emacs-25.1.2\bin\runemacs" --no-splash --load DDD2\init.el where DDD1 and DDD2 are local directories. > > I did nothing that I know of to cause this problem.

Windows 10 pro, Version 1909, OS build 18363.836 When I click on Help | About Emacs, I get: > GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (i686-w64-mingw32) of 2016-11-15 I downloaded the Emacs software on 22-Mar-2017 and installed it on my Windows 7 system, and reinstalled the same zip file on my Windows 10 system last year. The file that I installed was emacs-25.1-2-i686-w64-mingw32.zip that I downloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/. Looking at that directory now, I see that it has several more recent subdirectories, and I could upgrade Emacs to any of a number of different files and versions. What would be the best one? Thanks, John
