Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': On Windows XP: double clicking runemacs.exe gives a pop-up/dialog box saying: "Could not start Emacs." (typing start runemacs.exe -Q does not work either) double clicking emacs.exe does work. Is there something wrong with runemacs.exe? (version 24.0.97 did not have the same problem) Thanks, Albert. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.

I cannot reproduce this on Windows 7 x64. runemacs.exe works as it should. I do not have access to Windows XP to test this though. Can you please try the release candidate and see if the problem also occurs? Thanks.
