Could you also tell us which version of windows this is ?

I'll try that as soon as I have the time, but that won't be before next 
Wednesday or Thursday.

One of our students has been testing wingrass and hasn't reported this 
issue.

The problems reported with the dbf driver recently are due to some bug 
in the driver which keep inserts and updates from working. But I have 
not had any reports about a dll issue.

Haven't used gdal import for a while in wingrass, so will test that.

Have you tried setting this ?

Just to be sure: could you tell us how exactly Javi launches wingrass 
and what is the content of his grass63.bat file ?
