Thanks for the suggestion Dan, I just tried that, and again it crashes.

Bastian has kindly sent me his binaries, and they are working great. However 
now I have a working copy I've noticed another difference. When I run my 
wgnuplot, I do not get the menu and the buttons along the top!. I just 
figured that had been removed for some reason, but now looking at Bastian's 
copy they are there. So something else must also be wrong :/

Here is a URL to my builds: http://me.bramp.net/gnuplot-vs2003.zip if anyone 
is curious in running them. I will try and compile a version with debug 
symbols ( I just need to figure out how to alter the makefile to do that).
I was also just looking for my VC6 CD so I could install that and test if 
that solves my problem. I'll report back when I've done that.

For the time being I'll be using Bastian binaries, but I'm happy to help 
figure out why my compile doesn't work.

Thankyou for everyone's help.
Andrew
