Error while starting up Wings 3D

[Geertvc]

Using Windows XP, home edition, SP3.

I downloaded version 1.5.2 of Wings 3d and after installing and starting up the application, I always get the error given in the attached picture "InternalErrorMessage.png".

The error dump is also attached: wings_crash.dump.txt.

Result is also that my menus are transparent and I can't chose any background colour to modify this. See attached pictures "TransparentMenus.png" and "NoColourSelectionPossible.png".

I've also tried the command line approach (see this article), but with the same results. See attached picture "CommandApproach.png".

Anyone any idea?

Best rgds,
