Yep, they crash... but don't ask me why... Delphi is greek to me!

Everything acts strangely in Windows 7. :D I worry if something works at the first compile.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

[glennPattonWork3]

Oh not me:thumbsup:

Ahhh, that's nice to know I was starting to think it was a DFU mistake. Why does the client use Delphi and TCL ??

I haven't noticed, but when a program acts strangely, firing up CFF Explorer (or equivalent) to see which compiler produced it is usually not the first thing I do.

I'm just starting to get over my fear of Windows 7 don't mention 8 yet (on a side note my boss upgraded his PC from Win 2000 to Win 7 last year complaining about the lack of drivers.....

[glennPattonWork3]

Hadn't come across CFF explorer before I am giving a look now....

I've had limited experience with W-eight. Mostly to see if some of our data collection applications work. They do, and they don't. The security features can put the init files in a different locations. Took some doing but I was able to get most of them going with little effort. Oddly enough, our old VB6 apps worked just fine. :~

Compiled using which version of Delphi? One of the pre-Vista versions?

Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss: If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

[glennPattonWork3]

I have no idea, this is an application that we were given to test some boards with. When I was on site I did see a Delphi 5 battered book on the shelf. The dialogue boxes are square and so are the buttons not like Vis Studio but it has a net run time installed on the box. Seem to remember Borland Dev Studio 2006 had Delphi for .NET......

:suss:I suspect He/She/They is/are a fan of Borland (names now changed to a cryptic term starting in E...)

Which version of Delphi? I use Delphi 7, 2009 and XE2 on Win7. No strange behaviour of strange apps so far. Maybe your app calls a depicated WinAPI function.

This statement is false.

[gardnerp]

I use XE2 and have not had issues.

[glennPattonWork3]

I am trying to stay away from the code in this project.....

[glennPattonWork3]

XE 2, my memory of Pascal (which I believe Delphi is a child of) was restricted to college at Uni we used C, in the real world I have used VB6, VB.NET (2002), Borland C++ Builder, C, C# most recently, is XE 2 a newer version of Delphi?

[gardnerp]

Yes. The current Delphi version is called XE3.

[glennPattonWork3]

Ahhh, the old change the name trick, is still Borland Inspire, or Inspire?...
