>>>We have a user here whose computer crashes hard when they exit my application. I did see this before, but it was on Win 95 and involved the dcom update. Once this was executed then the problem when away. But I dont know why this win 98 system is doing this as others seem to run OK. Any help would be appreciated.

In Win98, lots of problems, since the base Win98 had IE4 integrated into it very tightly. I've had a couple of occasions where I've needed to reinstall the base OS and patch from there when people objected strongly to IE5 and uninstalled it.
