window.
3. After reinstall of Haskell platform everything remains the same - WinGHCi

The WinGHCi window is Not Responding.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WinGHCi - the one that comes with Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0. OS - Windows 7

Tried to find any remaining .conf files after the second uninstall of Haskell
Platform that may cause the problem but couldn't find any. Meanwhile GHCi works
just fine in cmd.

After deleting the row GHCi_PROMPT_COMBO3 REG_SZ "λ> " in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Haskell\WinGHCi 1.0.6 everything is back to normal
with WinGHCi.

That's because of the way WinGHCi works with Unicode strings with symbols
outside of the current system code page. See issue #4, "Lousy Unicode support
in WinGHCi..." — I tried :set prompt "λ> " in patched WinGHCi and it worked
like a charm. And unpatched one hangs on me too — unless I set my "Language
for non-Unicode programs" to Greek.
