Even with this new version (and the Win XP keyboard patch) posted above, Blocek still freezes for me when I go to "New File" and start to type. Nothing appears on the screen, and the system freezes so that a re-boot is necessary. I can open a PNG file OK, but when I open an existing text file, the file opens and I can't scroll the mouse, or enter any text. Freeze. This behavior has been the same on all my Dell laptops since at least Blocek 1.60. Does not appear to be a memory problem or a CWSDPMI error, as no error or sigserv occurs, just the freeze when attempting to enter text on keyboard.
