Hi

I am quite sure this is the cygwin based installation downloaded from
pspp.awardspace.com

Strange and to be honest, I have no Idea what the problem is. I guess
there is a problem with the combination of PSPP and other software on
your PC. What happens when you don't use the started PSPP program and
leave the PC idle for some time?

>and i have to kill Xwin process from the tasklist.

Why XWin? This is the parent and killing XWin will kill PSPPIRE too.
Is XWin using 100% of your CPU? What does PSPPIRE use? You can see
this when typing Ctrl-Alt-Del and choose "Taskmanagement"and then
"Processes".

An alternative may be using the other PSPP installation from
http://www.cecaps.ufmg.br/pspp/  This uses a complete different
appoach and might work on your PC.

Have fun




Someone can help me? I need desperately to manage .sav and .
por files for university purposes. Thanks. Francesco Munno.
