I do have NTFS and was thinking of permission problems, too. This is how 
things went:
I had a user tit with group Administrators
I installed mingw, gtk+ and geany under this user and all worked well
I took the admin privileges off the user and geany started to crash. But 
the files I tried to edit belong to the user tit.
I could edit the file with write and save it, too
I granted Administrator privilege to the user again and geany stopped to 
crash.

I have removed my .geany driectory between tries and tested with the 
latest svn sources as well as with a precompiled geany 0.8, with the 
same results.

It might as well have to to with the gtk+ libraries. I use the ones 
suggested on the geany home page.

Bye
