Hi all

My problem is an older programme, Next from SCM for Windor 60 to
exact. Probably that doesnt tell you much.

Originally it works on Win98, and can be reinstalled and work on
Win98.
´
On Win XP however, it will work the first time, but after that it will
give this error:

Invalid argument to date encode.

Then an access violation will occur, and the programme will not work.
I tried it on to Win XP computers, the result is the same. That was
yesterday, 15.05.2010.
It does not even read in the language or anything. All functions
result in an access violation error.

As it works on Win98, it has to be related to some kind of windows DLL
or something.
Any ideas anyone?

Windows XP offers "compatibility" settings, to emulate Win95 or
Win98, which solves this type of problem about 80 per cent of
the time. "Compatibility" is explained via / Start / Help.

Thanks for the idea. That does not help, for both win 95 and win 98.
The error remain.

1. Win9x/ME is a different family than NT and thus can have compatibilities issues if it
isn't coded to be NT caompatible.

2. It probably wasn't Y2K compliant and thus the error.
