Hi All,

Have been running CBuilder 5.0 for about 3 years.  A database program I have
written runs
very well and it performs under Win 95 thru Win 2000 pro.

Under Win XP on some laptops the same program runs perfectly sometimes !
Opens a splash screen and then tries to load the main program and
reverts to the desktop! Next reboot will run fine.

Will an upgrade to CBuilder 6.0  remedy this problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Howard

It could be that the problem is not from the program but rather from the 
change in how XP handles DLL's.

Try putting the DLL's that the program uses, other than those supplied by 
Windows, into the directory where the executable is located.
