Amaya 9.0 Win2K - "Program Error" prevents using the product

Hi,

I just installed Amaya 9.0, from the "amaya-WinXP-9.0.exe"
distribution, on my Win2K (SP4) laptop.  When I open Amaya, any type
of action (e.g. move the window, resize the window, try to create a
new file) causes the following dialog to appear and the program to
shut down.

  Program Error
  amaya.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
  You will need to restart the program.

  An error log is being created.
  [OK]

I've tried re-booting, uninstalling/reinstalling, downloading the
distribution again and reinstalling.  The error remains.  I also tried
looking for the error log file, but couldn't find where it is saved.

Any help with this would be much appreciated as I am eager to use the
latest version.

Thx.
