Well, I have now tested this program on my old PC and although the exe
compiled on this machine will not run on the old one, the same program
compiled on the old runs fine on the old one, but crashes on the new one, so
I guess the problem is on my computer. Anyone know what this might be? My
new computer is a Dell D333 with 128mb ram, Diamond Permedia 2, SB AWE64
etc... my old one is a homemade job sort of thing with bits and pieces from
everywhere, P133 with 32MB ram. I think my new one has Win95 OSR2 whereas
the old one had Win95 OSR1 as well...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
