Re: Mathematica 9.0.0.0 for windows crash

As every user who has download access to Mathematica 9 for Windows from 
the Wolfram User Portal should know by now, a new version of Mathematica 
9 has been made available for download.

This new version is virtually identical in terms of the resulting 
Mathematica installation.  The major difference is in how the installer 
itself behaves while installing the application.  The installer now 
attempts rather aggressively to resolve potential issues with font 
installation which may have created the preconditions for the blue 
screen system crash.  All of the data we're getting back from users and 
from internal testing now indicates that this is fixing the problem.

As for side-by-side installations, it has always been and continues to 
be possible to install and run older versions of Mathematica along-side 
newer ones.  The main caveats here are that the old one should actually 
work in your environment (e.g., some very old copies of Mathematica 
aren't compatible with modern operating systems), and that the number of 
concurrent processes you're allowed to run under your license is tracked 
across all versions of Mathematica.
