I face this problem at my WinXP machine , but not Win2K machine.
Compile fine , but when start run "Unknown exception error occur, application have to terminate now" when start up.
It happen suddenly , before that was fine.
I trace the source code and found it happens in the main.cpp > LoadWindowState() function , I comment that line and compile again , it runs fine.
I am still not sure what happen but it may due to my hardware problem (memory) , just wonder anybody have the same problem or not.
Unicode build , winXP Pro SP2.
