Hi,

I'm guessing it's all to do with the dreaded DLLs on Windows. It happened on MacOS 9 too, to a lessor extent. For instance if you had Office 98 running and then used an older version (that used different DLLs (shared libs on the Mac), it could cause all kinds of chaos.

In the same way, if RunRev relied on the action of a DLL and then a new version of that DLL changed how it worked (but kept the same DLL file and function name, they things start to fall apart).

Just a guess, but I've had some horrible times trying to get the right set of DLLs installed.

All the Best
Dave

As an infrequent Windows user the following is

Now I know that Microsoft (and, to a lesser extent,
Apple) can be a bit paternalistic, deciding what is
good for their end-users - but I fail to see how
changing a web-browser can affect Runtime Revolution's
web-operability. OR, to put it another way: if
upgrades of standard software packages within an
operating system radically affect how other software
packages function in that OS isn't it time to ask some
hard questions about the OS?

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
