Thanks Venelina,

Although that is interesting, it doesnt really apply to the issue I am encountering!

I have now created a "helloworld.exe" with a 2 line .prg
Wait Window "Hello world"
Read Events
Built this into an .Exe then tried to run it on the Arabic Enabled NT machine

It instantly comes up with a ignore, cancel & help dialog box
and a C0000..5 Error which wont go away.. infinite loop.

I have tried to upgrade to IE5 and NT SP4 but this does not help.

Someone must have seen this before!

Will
