Hi,

Actually, my application need to be run on my client standalone PC
for 24 hours x 7 days on Win9x system in a network environment.

After a few days like 4 days, we observed the system clock is
out by 15 - 30 minutes, so we often had to adjust it back on time.
In addition, the system will also reported of 'illegal operation'
and exit my application.

We also observed during the unzipping and processing of
database file, the whole system seem to 'halt', other program
also seem to 'halt' too on the same PC, but will restore back to normal once
the processing is over. Normally, there are 50 zip files to process every day which might take half an hours to process all of them. Next, the
memory resources of the system also seem to getting lesser, like
memory leakage in my application.

The system is a Pentium III, 450Mhz with 64M of RAM
on Win98.

Therefore, I suspect the processing process is causing my
system clock to slow down and memory leakage in my application
is causing the illegal operation.

I don't use DOEVENTS in my application at all, but do use
AutoYield as my unzipping feature is using Dynazip, which
required setting the AutoYield to work.

I also had restrict my application RAM usage using
SYS(3050) but it didn't help.

Please kindly advise me. Thank a lot.
