My apologies - I stopped reading at C0000005!

I'd still apply at least SP3 to NT; there's a tremendous amount of stuff fixed in it, and even more in SP4 if it doesn't bite you during the installation...

If you're using many .DLL DECLARES, I've avoided some problems releasing .DLLs by invoking the ExitProcess() API call rather than using QUIT. Try:

DECLARE ExitProcess IN WIN32API INTEGER uExitCode
=ExitProcess(0)

in place of QUIT. I don't know exactly why this works, but it fixed some problems I had after far too many DECLARE...DLLs and DLL call invocations.
