[lazarus] Nightly builds of Win32 binary now available.

[Horacio Jamilis]

Hi,

I tried to run the Windows version of lazarus downloaded today (with the dll's I found on the lazarus site) and it crashes with the following exception:

LAZARUS provocó un fallo de protección general
en el módulo MGAPDX64.DRV de 0003:00001fb9.

I think this happens when the editor is about to be shown.
If I am not mad MGAPDX64.DRV is the video driver.

Yesterday I played a bit with lazarus under windows (on other pc) and worked "fine". The editor was shown but I was unable to see the caret (or type anything on it), and I was unable to put any component on a form. But it show something, and didn´t crashed.

Keep your grait job.
