Hi,

Interestingly enough the StackHash_9f59 string is findable on google and exists for Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and was related to running MySql back in 2009. The hash value and the first two lines of Additional Information match byte for byte with the error reported here. The bug reporter could not find any reason for the bug. Neither could the MySQL developers. But funny enough the user did find a workaround:

"Suggested fix:
If you change the Appearance Settings to anything except "Windows Aero" OSS WB will start without error."


Another program FreeCAD which is a Qt program had a report in 2011 with the exact same StackHash_9f59 and all 4 lines of Additional Information were byte for byte identical. Again this was from a Vista user and that user fixed it by updating his ATI driver!


So it appears to be a Vista problem related to graphics in some way since the exact same stack hash has shown errors in the past under completely different executables.

Sorry, I can't really help more, other than to say, the likelihood of the Sigil code base with the latest compilers in 2015 exactly matching a problem in 2011 or 2009 seems quite remote, meaning that the issue if probably something else on your system and not Sigil.

Hope this helps,

Kevin
