Knife.vbx in XP

[pops]

I'm trying to get this 16 bit program to run on XP, but I
keep getting a "can't load custom DLL:" error. I was
wondering if anyone a work around or patch for this.


Thanks

It is probably trying to overwrite a pertinent system file, which is
protected. In the days of 16 bit programs, this was a common occurrence.
People changed critical files to allow "their" programs to function, saying
"the hell" with everyone else's program. It was one of the leading causes of
system "instability" in Windows 3.1 and in Windows 95.

Get an updated, or equivalent, program and dump the offending program!

Just a thought:

I wonder whether you need to run the relevant program which uses this VBX in
Win 95 compatibility mode.

HTH
