but not running at all under Windows XP.

can you be more precise ?
Is the exe launching under xp or not at all ?
Are you getting a message ?
I use the same environment (msvc , harbour 3.2) also
Ps : are you using themes with XP ? i would advise you to use them
Hth
Richard

Just add this function to your main PRG:
function GetTasks() ; return nil
and your app will run fine on XP

is it safe to add function GetTasks() ; return nil
How will errsysw.prg for example react , how the error.log will display the different tasks ?

Upgrade to Windows 8

Otto,
More tan 60% of our users are using Windows XP, 30% Windows 7, and the rest Vista (very few) and Windows 8.
So I am afraid XP is still very very alive.

Same situation here.
Company 1
67 Pc´s (50 XP, 17 WIN7)
2 Linux Servers (Mysql)
Company 2
79 Pc's (48 XP, 30 Win7, 1 W8)
2 Linux Servers (Mysql)
Company 3
35 Pc´s (30 XP, 5 Win7)
1 Linux Server (Mysql)
Most of them will be upgraded to Win7 before the end of year.
Some administrators bought new Notebooks, they came with W8, all of them where downgraded to Win7.
