status_access_violation

[Herbert ter Maat]

Dear all,

I have posted this question before, but this problem keeps on bugging me.
I am using GrADS under Windows using Exceed as an X-window server (xwin32).
However, I am getting the same problem using the version of GrADS with its
own window (win32e).

The day before yesterday I could use GrADS without any problem, but
yesterday after I installed Quicktime/iTunes I got a stackdump-error in
Grads.exe.stackdump (see at the bottom of this e-mail message). After
uninstalling Quicktime again, I was able to use GrADS (xwin32) without any
problems. This has occured to me numerous times, using various
software-packages, during the last months and this is getting highly annoying.

Is there any workaround for this? Or are there any other good advices for
this to be solved?  *besides the fact that I should change operating system :-P*

Thanks in advance,
Herbert ter Maat
