    I recently have had 2 notepad++ crashes.  After the first one I thought that I should have taken down the details and reported them.  Now that I've had another here are the codes.

    An exception occured.  Notepad++ cannot recover and must be shutdown.

    The exception details are as follows:
    Code: 0xC0000005
    Type: Access Violation
    Exception address: 0x10002E87

    I'm using notepad++ v5.1 (UNICODE).  Which is the latest updatable version it updates.

    I have an HP pavillion zx5000 notebook running an up to date XP professional service pack 3.  The first exception occured last Friday just after I plugged in a USB keyboard for the first time.  I used the keyboard with Windows a little before using Notepad++. At first I figured the problem is that I added the keyboard while the program was up.  This morning (Monday) the first time I used notepad++ to edit a file (I had about 10 files open and saved all night) it crashed with the exception message.  I'm going to check my drivers for updates but I thought I would report this error.

      I just had a sequence of the same exact crashes as I had before.  On these I clicked on the top line of a file after the last character on the line and hit enter.  My intent was to insert lines after the first line.  I received the same crash with with the edit mentioned above for each of a number of different files I had open.  I had 11 files open.  Each time notepad++ crashed with the same error codes. 

      Finally I closed all files and opened only one then attempted the same procedure with the result of another crash.  I'm going to avoid that particular edit in the future. 

      I am sure that I was doing the same edits on the prevous crashes but I didn't reproduce it enough times to be sure that the edit was causing the crash.  I was more interested in avoiding the crash.  But I hope that a developer can duplicate this crash and it can be fixed.

      Using Notepad++ v5.2 (UNICODE) here, and I've just had a very similar crash:

      An exception occured. Notepad++ cannot recover and must be shutdown.

      The exception details are as follows:
      Code: 0xC0000005
      Type: Access Violation
      Exception address: 0x004029D0

      ...Followed by...

      The instruction at "0x01a9a760" referenced memory at "0x01a9a760". The memory could not be "read"

      Click on OK to terminate the program
      Click on CANCEL to debug the program

      It also saved a 334KB "NppDump.dmp" file which I have, if that helps?
