Hello Ed!
So, I checked the scenario. Win95 Hun version registry has no OLE section under SOFWARE/MICROSOFT. But!!!
Today, before I write these rows, I ran again the program. Now it gives: C0000005 exception.

Sorry! My program starts as you wrote with Screen OFF.
The problem: If in a vfp program I test the registry for DCOM98 existence, and it doesnot exist, there is no mean, to avoid Exception C000005.
(I didnot use VFP6 setup wizzard. I copied two necessary VFP DLL by hand.)

I decided to write small exe in cpp, as starter program before exe setup, that will refuse to run without DCOM95 v1.2 installed.
