(another) Wish.exe crashes on login - aMSN 0.98.1

[nicolunacba]

He says a terminal opens when aMSN launchs. Prompt = cmd.exe.

[kakaroto]

yeah, I know what he meant, I just don't understand wtf is happening for a prompt to pop... make sure you scan your whole computer for viruses and spyware!
the 'what' also applied to the previous user's post 'che'...

[Neustradamus]

So you see this terminal ?
I am not alone ?

[kakaroto]

no, he just explained what you saw...

[Neustradamus]

I found !
It is Kryptonite plugin !
but why ? It is not possible to hide ?

[kakaroto]

ah ok, well, I don't know how it works on windows.. I guess it tries to execute the 'gpg' command and it opens a terminal or something..

I can generate a crash dump if anyone is interested, below is from the appcompat.txt it generates:

@ianrneal:
download amsn again it should be fixed.

[ianrneal]

Downloaded aMSN-0.98.1-1-tcl85-windows-installer.exe and still get the same crash once I start to log in.

[kakaroto]

can you get a drwatson stack trace?

[Colonel O'Neill]

Just like to report the same problem.
I am running Windows 2000 in VMWare on a Windows 7x64 Host. In Windows 2000, it crashes as soon as I click Sign In. However, by deleting the entire farsight folder in c:\program files\amsn\scripts\utils\, I was able to get it to login successfully.

I have no troubles with the Windows 7 host computer.

I just downloaded the aMSN 0.98.1-1 version for Windows.
I have the crash on wish.exe  also.
Message: error of signature.
wish.exe 8.5.2.7 and reference to liboil.0.3-0.dll
There is a 6.8 txt file created on the crash.
New to this forum I don't know what best is
- to upload the txt file or
- to copy/paste the contents.

I 'disabled' the farsight folder by renaming it, without curing the issue.
I use Windows XP Pro sp1

[alexandernst]

I think that this might be happening because of a bug in Win XP: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-040.mspx
SO, try to upgrade to SP3.

Thank you for the quick answer.
