After many tests, it seems that it happens when you install wxmaxima 
after maxima.5.9.1 on a windows 98 station.
On the same station : i install maxima 5.9.1 without any problems and it 
did work.
On 2 stations under windows xp: I installed maxima 5.9.1 then wxmaxima 
and it did work perfectly
On linux : I installed maxima 5.9.1 then wxmaxima and it did work 
perfectly too
I tried 5 differents pc with indows 98 (i work in a school, i don't have 
so many pc at home ;)) always the same.
If anyone has an idea ? Perhaps some "dll" or so that are in xp and not 
in 98 wich are needed by wxmaxima ? I don't know much about prog so... I 
let the pros !
Thanks andrej for this work. I hope we can be able to use it on the 98 
station.
