[Gpg4win-users-en] gpg4win problems--related? (explorer crash, enigmail cannot find enigmime)

Sorry for the delay, I wanted to try to be as thorough as possible 
in the steps I was testing.

Before doing any of the tests you suggested I uninstalled gpg4win, 
scrubbed references of "gpg" from the registry (list of keys removed 
is available if needed", deleted the Start Menu folder, etc.  The 
only thing I didn't do was delete the environment variable pointing 
to the [non-standard] folder where I keep my public/private keys 
(nor did I delete my keyrings).

Then I reinstalled gpg4win, and used the command-line to "--verify" 
the digital signature of a file, and it worked perfectly.  But when 
I did right-click on the signature and tried to verify, Explorer 
crashed again.  :-(  Then I tried the tests you suggested:

This worked fine.


>gpg2 --list-secret-keys

This worked fine.


>gpg2 --clearsign x.txt

This worked, it even brought up a UI window named "pinenter" for my 
password (which really surprised me given that the rest of the UI 
was CLI. :-)


Do you have any other suggestions I can try?


Thanks,

-Neil
