[Qgis-user] Win qgis1.0preview2 crashes

[Agustin Lobo]

Thank you all for the answers:

1. Re-installing windows: not being a windows user, I'd rather
get another PC than re-installing windows. It's true that qgis preview2
works fine on other win computers (even the old one I have at home), but
it's also true that other programs work fine on this laptop and that I
would have to reinstall too many things.
2. Registry cleaning: looks feasible. I have a program
called registry cleaner, what should I look for?
3. "video driver; I'd look for an updated version": mine is Mobile Intel 
945GM Express Chipset 6.14.10.4436 28/11/2005 and have not found 
anything better/more modern.

May be the cause is that I have SP2 and not SP3? (I'm reluctant
to upgrade to SP3 as this caused lots of problems in
another computer)
