Would you be so kind an tell me how do I do that (I've already tried to run
"gretlw32.exe" as administrator but it didn't solve the problem?
You can either open a console window (cmd.exe), "cd" to where
gretl is located, and launch the program, as in
cd "c:/program files/gretl"
gretlw32.exe --debug
or you can create a desktop shortcut: browse to find the gretl
exe file, and add the " --debug" flag in the entry box after
the path to the program. Then double-click on your shortcut.
Either way, gretl should start as usual, except that a console
window will also appear, displaying various debugging messages
from gretl. Try producing a graph in gretl, and more messages
should appear.
Then if you click in the top left corner of the console window
you get a menu that enables you to select and copy the
contents of the window. Paste the contents into a text file
(e.g. using Notepad): that text file is what we'd like to see.
