Hi, On the "large objects heap": I have managed to miss that somehow. Thanks a lot for the enlightenment! Will keep it in mind for the future. On RAM sizes: My first programming was done on a Norsk Data ND-100 minicomputer with 512KB RAM (IIRC) and an 80MB disk running the SINTRAN-III OS. It had an ND-50 number-cruncher for a side-car (same one that did the F-16 simulations a few years earlier). We were approximately 200 student groups writing, compiling and testing BASIC and Pascal programs on it (50-60 groups at a time, on DEC VT-100 and ND terminals using current loop cables from the terminal room to the computer room). I ended up being an assistant teacher there for a few years... we're talking 1981 or so. My first experience with a PC: - Hmmm... wonder if it's like Unix: C:\>ls - No, let's try SINTRAN III syntax: C:\>LIST-FILES - Nope, not that. Let's do VMS then: C:\>DIR - WOW, it worked. Let's run it in the background: C:\>BG DIR - Nope. Maybe some Unix influence after all: C:\>DIR & - Not that. Now let's see... where's the manual. WHAT?!?! No multi-tasking?!?!? Are you f*ing serious?!?! And I had just promised writing actual software for the thing... I have never felt so lost in my life... Later, -- Peter

Hey Pete thanks very much for your response. Much appreciated. Have a good one. When the game is over the Pawn and the King go into the same box.

The votes speak for themselves kiddo. --- How to get answers to your questions[^]

Hey Alaric_, Your assumption is correct, I am using the 2.0 Framework. I did install the update that you recommended, but it didn't change a thing unfortunately. Thank you very much for your suggestion, at the minute I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. If anyone else has any suggestions I would be glad to hear them.

Thanks for your reply Mark, I've check and the DLL has definitely been registered on the problem PCs Having a hard time tracking down this problem :confused: Freedom is the right to say that 2+2=5 if this is so everything else will follow.

I am guessing you have a control (probably a combobox) that is used to select one out of a list of time periods. If so, use the selected combobox text rather than the selected index, and do some simple math, something like: const int MILLISECONDS_PER_MINUTE=60*1000; // outside any method ! ... int delayInMsecs=MILLISECONDS_PER_MINUTE*Convert.ToInt32(myCombo.Text) This eliminates all the code you have shown and a lot of possible bugs, and it is immediately clear what is going on. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] [Forum Guidelines]

I added a try/catch/finally to the program.cs, do you think that this will help me capture the error? Freedom is the right to say that 2+2=5 if this is so everything else will follow.

That's worth a 5 just for pricking the smug bubble. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. They were greatly appreciated . Freedom is the right to say that 2+2=5 if this is so everything else will follow.

Each element in your array needs to be of the type of a control that you create to include those components. If it's an instance of the tab page, then it's just going to have the standard tab page elements. And that means you need an array of tab pages, and to cast each one as you need to. I think you need to reconsider your design.
