I can't speculate on why you had the first crash, but note that the
Start Menu for NBWin contains an item for "Recover" which should be run
if NBWin crashes unexpectedly. That unloads a number of DLLs that the
crash prevented from being gracefully and transparently removed by the
program on a normal closing. If you run Recover (or if you've restarted
Windows) before reloading NBWin, you should experience no further
problems. If you try to reload NBWin with the DLLs from an earlier
session still in memory, you'll probably crash again.
