Hi !
You don't need to use absolute addresses to make you EXE non-
relocatable. If you have some Windows call-back routines, e.g.
multimedia timer call-backs, or even in the TListView (?) these
will (may ?) need to be located in a non-relocatable segment.
This is so that Windows doesn't try to swap it to disk (virtual
memory). Normally though, these call-backs should reside in a DLL,
but I believe you mentioned that you had only one EXE, no DLL's,
hmm . . . interesting !
A corrupt EXE could also be the cause of the problem. :-)
