I have a 16 bit application that won't work unless I use
it on a new bootup. It works fine on XP Home in XP
compatability mode. It won't let me close 2000. I have to
reset.
Any suggestions???

Not much to be done here. the old win3.1 and dos apps often don't play nice
with win2k and winnt.
There are some kludgy things you can try, like booting in safe mode, or
find an emulator. But i wouldn't even go there.


XP, really is a petty decent os, once you get rid of the play doh buttons.
it's a worthwhile upgrade on many levels.
