Is there a known problem in Windows 98 SE?

rbuser

Hello,

I have one costumer, when he click to print a report, show a AV message, I
use MadExcept, and the error happens in ppReport1.Print, and my report
doens't have anything, only somes ppDBText and ppLabels.

I noticed that this error only occurs on this computer that has Windows 98
SE build 2222. In others computers, have Windows XP, these error doesn't
appears.

P.S.: I put the default theme is marked to Default, and I'm use the
ReportBuilder Enterprise 10.06.

Thanks for all,

Fellipe H.

Most issues dealing with Windows 98 have to do with running out of
resources. The easiest/best solution would be to suggest your users upgrade
their OS (Microsoft no longer even supports Win 98).

Other options to try...

- remove forms from the Delphi project's AutoCreate list
- create/destroy form instances and other object instances only as needed.
- manage bitmaps and other resources as efficiently as possible
- check the application for memory/resource leaks using a tool such as
AQTime or FastMM.
- reduce the number of resources that you load into your app. Move things
into resource DLLs, or dynamically load them using TResourceStream as
required.
- compile with packages. This reduces your the resource load of your EXE and
will help.

Until they actually switch to a new OS, there are some other options. You
can have them try the report right after a fresh boot. I tell some of my
customers that they might get by with rebooting their computer once a day.
If they have more persistent problems than this then they probably have
something installed on their computer with a very bad memory leak.
