The machine with 98 is not my main development machine it is just for testing but I did install and uninstall the 9.8 and beta 2 demos on it last week. the software that is crashing was fully compiled and installed with an install shield installer but I am wondering if there may be a problem because of the number of different versions of the ocxs that have been registered on this machine. Some of the old ocxs where definately left over because when i first ran the software it just threw an authentication error and i searched for and manually unregistered all the left over older versions to make it work. could it just be that something isn't properly registered? and can i install my full version on this machine as well as my main development machine? if so i can test your samples. finally even though explorer crashed the software did load and the skins were working. The only other thing i noticed was that the form seemed to loose some height with all three styles, i have a command button and a toolbar along the bottom which were being partialy cut off by the bottom of the form (fixed border style)

Regards

Alan

Hi again

have looked a little further and at one point i got an error message referring to uxtheme.dll which I assume is an xp dll?

Yes, uxtheme.dll provides theming support for Windows XP

This file http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/?dlltype=file&l=55&alpha=uxtheme.dll&S=1&x=15&y=15 - never shipped on a version of Windows earlier than XP. Are you getting this error on your Win 98 box?
