Hello, my Spanish is more than a little rusty, so I might be dead wrong. The crash stems from the fact that Windows things that it has found an "unallowed instruction". So the question is what kind of CPU are you running on. I am fairly certain that the build is not optimized for anything newer but a P5, so you are probably in the clear. If that is the case it is very probable that your hardware could habe some defect, i.e. some bits in your memory might be defective, so take something like Memtest and let it run on your box to be sure that it is not a memory/hardware problem. If it isn't flaky hardware you might need to take a look at cygwin or even Windows XP itself.
