GnuCash 2.2.0 running on WindowsXP (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300: Service Pack 2) as administrator fails to start. When I start, an error message is displayed:

"Unspecified fatal error encountered, aborting".

After that, Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library tells me:

"Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\GnuCash\bin\gnucash-bin.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact this application's support team for more information."

This error occures every time I try to start GnuCash. Reinstalling the application or installing it into another location don't solve the problem. I also killed gconf and deleted "C:\Documents and Settings\$user\Local Settings\gconfd-$user\lock\ior", still crashes.

This crash does not occur on my mobile PC, though it is configured exactly as my desktop PC.

Below are the contents of all GnuCash-related files under "C:\Documents and Settings\$user\"

I hope I presented all information you need, if not, feel free to ask.


Many thanks in advance!
