Try either:
1) Start WPWin with the /FL option (do not ask me what it does ---
it helped me for some reason! It has something to do with WPWin
having and problems with 256 color modes (!))
2) Upgrade to the newest WD 90C31 video drivers (at least they
are available on nic.funet.fi (I think))
We had similar problems on our Dell machines: WPWin crashed when trying to
display small fonts (e.g. when zooming out). Great program. :-(
Good luck,
Bjorn
