Re: crashed with Norton Scan

["Jerome Moreau" <moreau dot jerome at attbi dot com>]

Roger,

Yes I had Cygwin/XFree86 running the port of KDE 2 actually, with Konqueror
running on it.
Opening / scanning the file does cause any problem on my system, but then
again it is XP and not W2K. Might it not be an issue of your group file
being corrupted ?
Does anyone else know of an issue with W2K ?

Jerome.
