Hello all, i've been messing with a control panel app for so long.. previously i was using Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and had no problems, but now at work we switched to Borland C++ 6.0. The control panel applet i did contains a simple form with a PageControl and some buttons, it works fine and all, except that, sometimes, the first time i open windows control panel, after copying the .cpl to windows system directory, i get "Abnormal program termination" error, explorer crashes and restarts itself, now after this if i open the control panel again it works fine... Sometimes it just works even at the first launch, i tried it on another box and it does same thing. I noticed that if i install the cpl, then reboot, then let the system boot nicely (wait before it did every initialization, launched every service and so on) and open the control panel it works, if instead i open the cpanel while hd is still loading other programs/etc it crashes 100%. Can this some form of timeout? maybe windows control panel wants each .cpl to answer to inquire messages in a short period? (consiering the files the cpl has to load, cc3260mt.dll, borlndmm.dll, some bpl files and all it might take too long). I even tried disabling "Build with runtime packages" (so it includes the .bpl fiels in the .cpl itself) but i even get worse problems, like windows cpanel crashing everytime i open it. any1 know what im doing wrong ?
