doesn't matter, which project is loaded!):

Application version: 4.9.9.2

Machine info

Platform : Windows NT
OS version : version 5.1 (build 2600)

The following error occured in version 4.9.9.2:

Hello,

today i debug the program in an external debugger.
I could locate the problem in the procedure
TfrmProjectOptions.InitVersionInfo. It should crash at the
line " cmbLangID.Items.Clear;", maybe a few lines after that.
I can't verfied this problem, cause i havn't got Delphi :-/.
Befor crash, the DLL call EnumSystemLocalesA() is
executed.

Perhaps, this msg will helps you.

Hello,

the problem is the system call EnumSystemLocalesA().

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/intl/nls_9qk3.asp

This funtion needs two parameters, a flag and an address to a
callback function. It looks like, at this somthing unexpected
happen.

It's possible to use the following patch instructions for start
the project option panel anyhow (only 4.9.9.2!!).

1. make a backup of the file devcpp.exe
2. download the exe-pack upx (http://upx.sourceforge.net/)
3. extract the program file devcpp.exe with "upx -d
   devcpp.exe"
4. now, open devcpp.exe in a hex editor
5. looking at offset 0x000EEF0
6. u should see these:
   F3 50 E8 81 75 FF FF 8B
7. modify to:
   F3 50 90 90 90 90 90 8B
8. save and close
9. pack with "upx -9 devcpp.exe"
10. done

Good: the Project Options is back!! :-), but
Bad: u can't specify a language for the verion information (last
tab)

Salutatory,
Stefan

I had this problem and solved it by adding Dev-C++ to the
list of programs excluded from XP SP2's Data Execution
Prevention.

It looks like, this (add DevCpp to the excluded list) only works
if u logged on with administrative privileges
