I've been running these .exe programs for almost a year now with no problems and then we did an upgrade to Novell 5.1 this weekend and now the programs just hang which then locks up the entire computer. I am using VP 6.0 sp3 and compiling using WIN32 executable/COM server(exe)option. I've tried recompiling with no success...Anyone run into anything like this before or have any suggestions? Thanks.
