Crashes on the 7th or 8th file opened

Hi there,
the programm still crashes on the 7th or 8th, maybe 9th or 10th, file opened ... doesn't affect the number of files closed meanwhile, crashes. File size generally ranges within 4 kb and 30 kb.

Sometimes there is no other way out than close the programm forced by the taskmanager as for every click in PsPad causes a new 'Access Violation', even clicks on the close button, but somentimes after several times closing the notification window of the 'Access Violation' which returns, it is possible going on using the programm as if there were no prob - until the next 'Access Violation' happens (which might be more or less heavy ...)

I'm using PsPad like a portable programm from an extern disk and after launching the program, I start with 'create project from directory ...' (made a shortcut to this menu entry years ago) to load the standard directory stored in 'designate directory' or 'create project' from some other directory like a backyp directory.

Btw: the changing of 'good characters' into 'bad, strange characters' still happens but much less than before.

Machine and programm details se below.

Have a nice evening!
Best regards.
