I am about to release the second version of a program that I started writing
12 months ago. The first version worked fine on 98 upwards. This version
seems to crash on Windows 98. I realise that this is a bit vague, but anyone
any broad guidance as to how I might go about sorting this one?? To make
matters worse, It seems to work fine on a Windows 98 machine home - loaded
onto 2 at this other site with dotnet framework and it crashes. The initial
version is working OK on these external machines. I do not fancy a rather
long-winded approach out finding out why. I suppose I should have
double-checked whether these 2 machines were SE or not - I think that they
were.

Any clues anyone?? Any particular calls, namespaces etc that are not too
well tolerated on Windows 98?? About to go nd try it on another Windows 98
machine here - and I hope that it crashes so that I have something to work
with!!

Best wishes

Paul Bromley
