View Full Version : Help me keep GetMetaFile and PlayMetaFile working with XP SP2

Applying SP2 to XP has caused GetMetaFile and PlayMetaFile to stop working in
a 16-bit app I'm responsible for. I know these are obsolete functions and if
I were writing a new program or converting this one to a 32-bit app, I would
use GetEnhMetaFile and PlayEnhMetaFile. However, this is an app that will be
replaced in a year (not now) and we don't have the staff or time to convert
it.

How can I get them to work for users that are applying SP2 to XP. They did
work before applying SP2.
