Hi all...

Is there any special way that threads need to be handled in DLLs?

Ive found that if my app loads a DLL that uses threads, other windows software start to have problems.

If my app loads a DLL that doesnt have threads, the problems dont occour.


The problems are for example:
Some applications wont start until my software ends (Explorer does this).
Some applications wont show dialogs until my software ends.

Maybe my DLLs with threads is somehow stopping other applications from being able to create threads??

Thanks for any help.
