I hope someone can help me & I'd like to thank now all the persons who'll try to do it.

N.B: I've already cleared the cache & stopped avira & zone alarm but it didn't change anything

[Solais]

Hmm it always crashes at the same time...

[ChrisW]

You should post your .rpt file too. Most likely it will say "SINGLE_STEP" which means ZoneAlarm is causing the crash. Simply stopping ZoneAlarm is not good enough.
