I've had the same. Under NT, I remember I worked out there was a DLL that wasn't unloaded after a crash, which stopped emplode loading afterwards. I killed the DLL and it would reload.

I don't think you can sort this under Win 9x; I have encountered this on my new W98 machine a couple of times in the last week.

I need to narrow it down a bit further before reporting it as a bug, though.
