I have looked through it and can't find anything wrong, but I could have missed someting.

When I tried to look through the old messages in this list the freepascal.org links to the old messages were bad urls so I couldn't check there first.

If anyone has any idea how FPC win32 exes perform on winME I would like to know, and if there are any good ways of debugging to get info from the ME system that it crashes on that would be very helpful.

Hi,

I have a program that runs both on Win98 and WinME. My own computer has Win98, but the program ran without problems on 2 computers with ME. For finding problems, I did not use a debugger, but wrote intermediate results, such as values returned by Win functions, to a log file. But there were no problems when moving from Win98 to WinME. So far, I used Win functions for file i/o, device contexts, printing, date/time. I did not use the mouse, nor any of the Win components (scroll bars, menus, ..).

Do you have a simple 'Hello world' program that crashes with WinME? This would be a simple way to find errors.

Anton.
