This is a possible cause of that (from a posting in c.s.a.networking)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Something is wrong with the file aweb/docs/aweblogo.iff ... somehow
the info hunk at the start pfo the file got to say that the picture was 0 x
0 x 256 colors.. so I guess when Aweb starts it tries to do some math with
that picture.. and with the x and y sides being 0, boom, crashes.

TO FIX THIS:

   .. couple things you could do:

   1) rename aweblogo.iff to blah.iff (so aweb can't find it, so it
won't crash)
   2) rename aweb.html altogether (similar effect)
   3) Load AWevlogo.iff into am image processing program such as
dpaint. Dpaint will ask if you wanna change the screen to that of the file,
0x0x256. Don't. when it loads up, there will be some crap on the right edge
of the file. cut that crap out, don't need it. then cut out the image as a
brush, and save it as a brush (that way it gets the right sizing
information). save it over the original, and you should be in business.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interestingly, I found loading the .iff into DPaint it was seen as 0/0/256,
but PPaint reported the right sizing information. Nevertheless, I saved
it as outlined above and used AWeb last night for an hour without a crash.

But I couldn't get the installer to run, anybody else had problems with it?
