Hello Forum,
I'm running Sigil on XP and like it very much. Since 0.7 there was a crash soon after startup. So I stayed on 0.6.2 (Qt 4.8.4) What can be wrong? Is there is still another XP user out there, were it works? Help would be appreciated. ![]() Herbert |

XP SP-3. Sigil 0.7.2
It works without problems. Only the issue, already known, of the W3C-CSS validation with Firefox. |

IIRC You need to remove (lose) your old Sigil.ini found in: Code:

What processor do you have? Sigil now requires your processor to support the SSE2 instruction set.

Hello
Thank you folks, for comming back to my question. Yes I have XP-SP3 and 2G of Memory It's an AMD Sempron. I can't say, wether SSE2 instruction set is supported or not, but I think so. All other Editors and Multimedia Apps work fine. So I did another installation last week removing the old setup. * Uninstalled Sigli 0.6.2.0 C:\Documents and Settings\..\sigil-ebook\sigil contained some ini files and directories w/ dictionaries * erased everything. * Installed 0.7.2 * Started it * Got the well-known message: Sigil is a multi-platform EPUB ebook editor ... has detected a Problem and must be shut down. The details: AppVer0.7.2.0 ModName: qt5gui.dll ModVer 5.0.2.0 Offset 00005600 So I did , what I always did: * Uninstalled 0.7.X * Reinstalled 0.6.2.0 Interesting enoufg sometimes uninstalling 0.7.2 causes a fatal error in explorer.exe This was the case this time. (reboot) My guess is: QT5 does not work in all dll hells. Or the mfc dlls on my computer are newer as the 2010 version installed with 0.7.2. I'm convinced having VC8 -> 2013. I could use Linux, but... Any other idea? Herbert |

you can not use Qt5 dependent products on older AMD (includes Athelon 1900) because the processor does not have SSE2.
You are stuck at V6.x (Qt4) This affects Linux, since it is a hardware limit. |
