Win 98 vs Win XP
-
Hello I am building an application for work and they are running windows 98 and when I run the unfinished application on the computer it crashes it. The computer appears to run out of resources. But on my windows xp laptop I can run multiples of the program and not crash it. Does the file system matter NTFS or FAT?

Normally, no. But that and what's causing it to crash depends on what your app is doing and with what resources. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

In my opinion, it is not relatet to the file system (FAT or NTFS). I used to use windows 98 and found it is very difficult when it have a problem. Its always display kernel error when there is lack of the memory resource. While windows 2000 and windows xp, change the style to manage error handling in windows environment. It seem that most of application could run very stable whether its have some error occure.

Win 98 has a very limited amount of GDI resources, which can cause this sort of problem. 1) On XP, open the task manager 2) Choose View/Select Columns... 3) Check the GDI Objects checkbox 4) Monitor this value in the listview as you use the application. If it continues to rise, without ever dropping, then you probably have some sort of resource leak in your app. If it is just very high, the app will probably crash on Win 98.

The filesystem is irrelevant. do you write this program in visual basic .net or with common visual basic ? if your write with .net then check whether .net framework is still installed. if your wirte in common visual basic check your ocx or activeX files or check they are correctly registered.

Being written in visual basic .net the framework is fine because I have the same problem on two different computers running 98. But the one computer running 2000 can handle the program just fine. If I break up the GUI in to more then one form it does work in 98 just looks like crap. Thanks for the help Dale Burmeister
