I have just reformatted my machine (Win XP Pro) & ever since, WinSCP has failed to work.
I'm using WINSCP 4.0.7 Build 370. When I attempt to connect i receive this error: "Invalid access to memory"
Here is the log:

* 2008-05-06 13:35:55.762 Authentication failed.
Some to note is that I never get the window to ask whether the rsa fingerprint is valid, even though there is no key stored in cache.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
