That should let us know which program/procedure is responsible for causing the Crash.  I will let you know, if I have any luck.

After trying to repair in vain I decided to update to W7 -- BUT I was very careless about saving my stuff beforehand.  I just sent it from the screen either to a 'memory stick' or to Dropbox.  After the job was done I discovered I had lost quite a bit of my older data.  However I managed to retrieve my Gnucash files for the last 2 years starting from the introduction of our new currency.

You’re welcome for the help, and if you find a “smoking gun” I’m interested. Even if we can’t protect GnuCash from it it will add to the list of things for future users
having similar problems to look for.
