Bug Description
I made an SVG file at school on a WinXP+P4 workstation with Inkscape v0.47, saved it on a flash drive, tried to open it on my WinXP+AMD64 machine (also with Inkscape v0.47) at home and got a "No Disk" exception over and over until I killed Inkscape.exe with CTL+ALT+DEL. The file opens just fine on the P4.
Since I had the portable version at home and the "installer" version at school I tried the installer version at home -- interestingly, it was able to open the file but it was all wrong; none of the pictures imported showed up. (Yes, they were in the directory with the SVG file.) Next I tried the 7Zip version and it did the same thing as the portable version: just throw "No Disk" exceptions over and over.
Version 0.46 also has the same exception problem. (I didn't try other versions.)
Gdb didn't help since it responded to "backtrace" with "No Stack".
I would really appreciate it if you took a look at this problem. I think Inkscape is great and I would love to use it on my home machine. Thanks.

Do you get any kind of detailed Windows crash report that gives a hint where this error happens? /answers. launchpad. net/inkscape/ +question/ 93096> helps to get closer to the underlying cause of the repeated crashes?
