Hello, I got a lot of a replys - but th eproblem is still there. Since several persons have proposed to switch to the newest version in cvs, but at the moment on windows I do not have the posiblity to recompile ROOT, it is probably the best solution to wait for the new binaries of ROOT 4.00/03 win32gdk. So here I give a summary of the problem: The idea was to try to run our ROOT based Linux software also on Windows XP SP1 with Visual C++ 6.0 SP5 without using the cygwin environment. I started with the binaries of ROOT v3.10/02 win32gdk (the recommended version) and got everything to compile and link. The one and only problem was that each call like cout<<TString("A TString")<<endl; crashes the program. Commenting out all those appearances, the program (consisting out of ~50 classes) runs flawlessly and reproduces the results gained on Linux. I encapsulated the problem into the small program: #include <Riostream.h> #include "TString.h" int Macro() { cout<<"Let's crash:"<<endl; cout<<TString("CRASH")<<endl; return 0; } Compiling this in CINT with .x Macro.C+ the program crashes in the marked line, as it does when I compile it in Visual C++ Switching to the binaries of ROOT v4.00/02 win32gdk resulted in the same behaviour. In detail, I use: "win32gdk, 4.0.2 from WindowsXP/NT/w2000 with VC++ 7.0 (runs with VC++6), version 4.00/02 (good old tar file) **WIN32GDK**" Compiling the programs in $ROOTSYS/test leaded to a crash during the execution of the program tstring (no output was generated), but others like event.exe run flawlessly. Here is the requested output of nmake: C:\Daten\Root\r040002\test>nmake -f Makefile.win32 Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998.

Thanks and Ciao, Andreas
