Hmm. I think it installs with these applets not active - so did you have
to activate them? and once it was in a state of crashing how did you
deactivate them?
I never got to the point where the programme window opened so could not
control them from there. All I did was to move applets out of their
folder until OPW worked.

That is interesting because if as I believe those applets are not active by default it is merely looking at them which is causing the problem.

There is a file inside OPW called "manifest" which controls which applets are loaded.

The following day again I had the same problem, this time I had to
move the SWRE applet out as well to get things working...

Memory management always springs to mind in this kind of situation - by that I mean a bug which is connected with allocating memory for varying numbers of things e.g. fonts.

I have 2.92(12th March 2007), is this the most recent?

Yes, that is the most recent.
