    I upgraded to version 5 on Vista today and now I cannot run the program.
    After uninstalling v4, installing v5 and trying to run NPP, I get an MS
    popup saying Notepad++ has stopped working.

    Details of the popup:
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
    Application Name: notepad++.exe
    Application Version: 5.0.0.0
    Application Timestamp: 486fffd4
    Fault Module Name: StackHash_be50
    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0

    I am able to use the standalone (zip) version, but because it is not
    installed, Windows won't let me assign it to be the default program of any file types.

    Please help.

      Try resettings your configuration files, most probably to be found in %APPDATA%\Notepad++ (config.xml and session.xml)
      If that fails, remove everything related to Notepad++ (said directory and Program Files\Notepad++) and reinstall
