The last win32e release was v1.8SL11 built ca. 2002, and it is known to have
issues with Vista, perhaps even later incarnations of WindowsXP.

Why don't you try a more recent build? My latest is the v1.9.0-rc1 available
on sf.net:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=182392&release_id=571772

Get the "win32_superpak.exe". Installation instructions and troubleshooting
can be found here:

Keep in mind that this is not an official version supported by COLA. It is
meant as a "release candidate" enabling the http://opengrads.org extensions.

ps: I am planning a maintenance release in the next few days fixing some
Windows specific issues reported by users. Search the list for details.
