Subject: Emacs 24.0.97 Pretest Windows Binaries + Win7 x64: create new file
	dialog does not work.
Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 16:41:37 +0200

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:

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

Please, feel free to demand further information.
