    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'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. :~

              It was broke, so I fixed it.

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

                  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......

                      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.

                            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?

                              Yes. The current Delphi version is called XE3.

                                  Right-click on the executable, open "properties", go to the "compatibility" tab and set the compatibility-mode to "Windows XP". Also check the "Run as administrator" checkbox.
