After I open the configuration menu (in Windows Vista 64x) and hit the "Run" button, the Electric Sheep Screensaver window opens, hangs for a moment, and then "Not Responding" appears at the top of the menu. After I attempt to close it, I get the error message "libcurl.dll not responding". The program also does not work in screen saver mode, but all that I get from that is a blank screen. Is this a know error and is there any way to fix it?
My version of libcurl.dll in my C:\Windows\ folder is 7.14 and is 164kb in size.

ditto
also running windows vista ultimate, x64. same issue (crashes when running as a screensaver).
2.6 works fine, though i get that stutter every 6 seconds. must be something with my setup, as my buddy, with a far lesser machine, has no issues. running 4 cores with a qx6700, 8 gigs of ram, and an nvidia 8800gts, so i can't imagine it's something with my rig.
