Hi Nick, I'm very happy to help, of course, but I would indeed need some more details of what goes wrong.
Also, you're probably the first one to try and run Mnemosyne 2 on Windows, so just figuring out what all the dependencies are there, would already be very helpful as a first project. In any case, it's better to start a new thread on the devel forum. Cheers, Peter > Hello Peter, all > > I've been lurking on the list for... probably a couple of years now.
