Subject: Emacs 24.0.97 Pretest Windows Binaries + Win7 x64: create new file
	dialog does not work.

Every Emacs pretest windows binary since 24.0.92 shows the same
behaviour: after runemacs -Q, if you go with mouse to  'menu-bar file
new-file' or 'tool-bar new-file', a graphical file selector dialog
opens, with some icons in complete black, and when you enter a new
file name, click OK (Open, actually), nothing happens.

Also, I experiment the same behaviour with official Emacs 23.4, but
not in Emacs 23.3.

Both series, 23.4 and 24.0.x, works perfectly in Windows XP and Windows 7 x86

But the binary from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ntemacs/ntemacs24-bin-20110402.7z?download
(version 24.0.50.1) WORKS PERFECTLY. The report-emacs-bug info for
this working version is the following:

(Windows 7 x64 Home Premium)

May I get a complete working binary of Emacs 24 for W7 x64?

Please, feel free to demand further information.

More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug as unreproducible.  If you're still seeing this,
please reopen the bug report.
