try (backup) and remove the .qgis folder.

What is the attached .exe file?

#2 Updated by Charles Petersen almost 12 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. I moved the .qgis folder to a flash drive,d restarted QGIS, and attempted to specify a CRS but the program crashed again.
Here is the error message from Win 7:

I have no idea what the attached file is. I thought I was attaching QGIS.exe, but maybe the above information is more useful.

try re-installing the program?

something seems wrong with

Fault Module Name: QtCore4.dll

#5 Updated by Charles Petersen almost 12 years ago

I will reinstall the program, although I must say I have already done that. I assume that QtCore4.dll is a QGIS module.

seems anyway a local issue, try see if you other copies of that library around in your system.

#7 Updated by Charles Petersen almost 12 years ago

I think you might be right. I will check for the .qgis folder elsewhere in my system. Right now, however, I'm reinstalling QGIS

#8 Updated by Charles Petersen almost 12 years ago

I looked for other .qgis folders on my entire 1TB hard drive, but found none. After confirming that there was no .qgis folder in the directory where it is normally found, I reinstalled QGIS, and then ran the program without installing any additional plugins other than the ones available through the basic installation. Once again, unfortunately, it crashed when I tried to specify a CRS. The error message pointed to the same fault module (QtCore4.dll). If the problem is local, it doesn't look like it has anything to do with the .qgis folder.

look for other QtCore4.dll copies. the .qgis folder is just one and does not contain that library.
