Comment:

 No change after i delete that dll , before i posted this ticket i renamed
 the prefs.xml to disable any plugin that i might have like in faq , i do
 not know what the function oscar_int does and if it involves other lib`s
 but there is the place where the exception happens . The MSVS2008 debugger
 points to a line where the contents of a pointer [ eax + some value ] are
 moved in other registry but eax is a value of 0x30 ( 40 ) and the added
 value to eax is also small so is not a "valid" pointer , and is outside of
 the program allocated memory , so a exception is thrown .
 If i manually change the value of eax to a proper value i get past the
 exception .
 So the problem is clear , somehow the eax register at some point gets a
 wrong value .
