From: http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/a/jamesa62/witp_editor.html - Untested on Windows 98 or Windows ME, should work though.
Not good news on this front I'm afraid. The program loads fine but when loading a scenario, I get 4 or 5 "Failed to open empty document" errors. The initial data window (View Devices) does open but the display area (with scroll bars which work) don't line up with the window borders. The Windows Start button menus are sometimes also blanked and Windows explorer is a bit flaky when this program is running. I looks like the Windows system functions are affected. The following tabs work properly (within displayed area): View Devices, View ship Classes, View Ships, View Aircraft, View Pilots. The bitmap pictures display OK. Selecting the following tabs causes program to crash with Illegal Operation error: View Air groups, View Scenario, View Groups (mostly), View Locations, View Leaders, View Pwhex. I tried using another gdiplus.dll file from my .NET V1.1 directory but this made no difference. Stock and CHS scenarios were tried. The same program (0.9.6.8) ran just fine under XP so I don't think the problem in your programming but in the operating system interface dll. Looks like this might be XP/2000 application only. Ok, I just finished testing under Windows ME using Virtual PC 2004 sp1 and the program ran fine-no errors, except for the list view control in airgroups view(I'm testing a new way of updating the control). One major downside to Virtual PC is that it emulates really crappy hardware. Under which OS did you test Editor X? How did you install said OS(single, multi boot or virtual)? Have you installed all the critical updates for this OS? For what it's worth I'm not calling any OS functions specific to either XP or ME, the majority of my code is generic C++ using the C++ Standard Library. Thanks,
