Gennady, try sarting with a fresh kernel. For your first integral,
Mathematica 5.1 for Windows indicates that it does not converge.
In[1]:= Integrate[E^(I*x^2), {x, 0, Infinity}]
2
I x
Integrate::idiv: Integral of E does not converge on {0, Infinity}.
2
I x
Out[1]= Integrate[E , {x, 0, Infinity}]

Please file this with support at wolfram.com and Technical Support will
follow up on it.
