I am running on VISTA and just recently had the message above for any program to compile.
The statement is 
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I reinstalled Emergence Basic----no effect
I uninstalled and reinstalled---no effect
has anyone come across this problem??
			
			
			
				Vista and win7 shows "stopped working" in place "crashed". You need to find a syntax error, or a undefined variable in your code. The bug can hide in /bin directory, in custom .incc files. If you have custom incc files, move them away (to another directory) and try to compile.
			
			
			
				A lot of users use Emergence on Vista without problems, including me.
When you installed the first time were you logged in as an administrator?

				When does the error occur?  On startup? when compiling?  when you take your computer screen and shake it like an etch a sketch?
			
			
			
				Does your code call functions with the wrong number of parameters? this happens to me only when I compile code that calls my OWN functions using the wrong number of parameters.
