No problems here. Sounds like problems with your operating system to me. Perhaps you should upgrade to something with a less primitive software management system.

But rather than curse your dark Windows(TM), let me shed some light.

Try downloading gs850w32.exe

Nope, went to the link. No ...32c.exe there either. It appears that the Scribus folks don't want windows users. I wish they'd just said that rather than listing a non-existant required program. I presume it is some sort of anti-Windows user joke.
