I also tried to launch RS32.EXE directly, by double-clicking on it. I see a small window, but it's "not responding"... it cannot even repaint itself. Did you update the EXE version information after the original fix, that made it work under Win2k? It says 1.0.0 on my machine, does this mean I have a not updated version? I also tried the version that Jan Knepper sent me a few months ago (before being updated in the CD update package), but it behaves the same: completely frozen! And it displays "Resource Studio 1.1", just like the other one.

It seems that Microsoft is doing something strange! The Aladdin Ghostscript for Win32 setup kit froze during copying one file, but it worked fine after installing MSIE5.5 SP2. I don't know if RS32 worked before that, but it works now, after installing the latest security patch for the above mentioned MSIE... Should this have affected RS32 in any way, or MSIE is just so extremely deep in the OS??? Oh well... the good thing is that it works now!!!

If you can consider WinME as "early"... :) I had problems with many programs that worked strange, or not at all (and worked flawlessly under Win95 and Win98, not to mention WinNT4 and Win2k). However, after each Windows Update, some of them started working. Now I think all of them are working properly (although it's hard for me to understand why this can have anything to do with MSIE DLLs!!), it's just that I'm getting BSODs from time to time (typically every 5-10 hrs). Oh well... Maybe DigitalMars can produce a full CD version that works under WINE? <g> Regards, Laurentiu "Jan Knepper" <jan smartsoft.cc> wrote in message news:3CEA3A35.801FA647 smartsoft.cc...I have heard many programs having problem with earlier version of Win32.DLL's.I many of my own programs I wrap the patches into the InstallShield tomake surethey are being installed.

I looked at the configuration options at Dell and Gateway, and basically couldn't make heads or tails of them. Spending 10 minutes yakking with the technician at the local screwdriver shop got me all the information I needed. I got the nice brushed aluminum case. It sure looks a lot better than the beige plastic boxes I am so sick of looking at. It's 5x faster not so much because the new machine is a screamer (1.6GHz), but because my old one is so obsolete (200 MHz).

Errr... because I would have to pay for the upgrade? I could get 2 DigitalMars CDs for that money!!! :) I heard about a lot of incompatibilies with older apps, especially DOS-extended ones. DJGPP even has a special workaround project for the bugs in Win2k/XP NTVDM (I'm not sure it crashes, as other DOS-extenders do, or just doesn't have any more DPMI selectors. Perhaps someone with XP will volunteer to try a small "Hello world" compiled with DJGPP? :))) Did you experience any problems with WinXP? How about 16-bit DOS, Win16 or X32 apps?

Partition Magic can do that too (PQBoot). Looks like making a new partition for Linux. If you have Linux installed, Lilo can do the job too. There is an other solution under Linux: a software called Wmware. I don't know exately what it is but i know guys having linux while there client or coleague run Windows and can't afford usual Linux fantasy. So, when needed, they switch to Windows (even XP) running on a "Linux box" thanks to Wmware. It seems to run perfectly and fast if you have big memory. May be you can run DOS under Linux/Wmware as well. I have in mind trying Wmware. I will try it running DOSX as well I will let you know the result.

Why VMWARE? Doesn't X32 work under DOSEMU? There's VMWARE for WinNT, also, I heard it works just as well as the Linux version. But I'd be more interested in a fix for X32, rather than an OS emulator.
