Yeah, I feel like maybe something else is broken, but as the program works perfectly in XP I see no other culprit than the virtualization mechanism...

It's nothing secret - my project is open source and available at https://launchpad.net/tagaini-jisho .

However, I'm using scons on top of qmake to build it, and the build process is not feasible on Windows yet (I know, a Windows program that does not compile on Windows, what a weird thing to do!). One of my users agreed to help me figuring this out by running special binaries and sending me the output, so I guess I can do it this way. Thanks anyway for proposing to help - I really appreciate it.

I will keep you informed if I can track this down.
