You seem to be reporting two different problems here, but have not
given me enough information to do anything useful about either one.

1.  What happens when you answer yes to the question about cleaning up
    abandoned project folders?  Does Artemis crash again right after
    that?  How about the next time you start Artemis?

2.  It is really not adequate just to say "Artemis crashed very
    often."  If you do not give me enough information to reproduce the
    problem myself, then I cannot fix whatever is causing the crash.
    Indeed, I cannot even begin to search for the problem because you
    haven't told me anything about it.

    Please read this page carefully:
      http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/bugs.html
    and the consider trying your bug report again.

    If Artemis beeps and posts a message to the echo area about a TRAP
    file, please send me the specified file along with a description
    of how you got to the situation.
