Hello all,

I keep getting the following error when running the project on one of my boxes:

The box is an old Celeron 700 machine running win98SE. According to the project website, it runs on Win98 and later, so I was curious as to what was happening here.

Some other projects I've found where people have had this problem, they've been told that it's due to the project using windows API calls that 98 doesn't support.

It's not a big issue if I can't get it to run, and I'm not planning on keeping win98 running on the box, just found it and decided to see what all it could do, it actually surprised me a bit with how snappy it seemed.

I've currently detached the project from this host, so as not to waste cpu cycles by constantly trying to get more work when it has hit the quota and won't work anyways.

Thanks,
