[Gretl-devel] Vista oddity

Yesterday one of our PhD students came to me with the weirdest thing: she previously had two separate gretl installs on different subdirectories (don't ask me why) on her Windows Vista PC. After removing them both, she proceeded to install 1.8.4. The install went fine, except for one thing: double-clicking an existing gdt or inp file launched gretl alright, but running gretlw32 "dry" produced an instance of gretl with no menu bar (!!!); I'm no Vista expert, but I managed to go back to normal by: 1) uninstalling gretl 2) deleting everything gretl-related from the registry via regedit (long and boring) 3) re-installing gretl I have no idea why this worked, but it did. If someone more windows-savvy than I am (doesn't take much) could see to it...
