I have an application using Mutex, working perflectly under winXp, but when I try under win98, the form freeze on mutex.WaitOne(), anyone ever used Mutex and win98?
 
If I recall correctly, Windows 98 is not a preemptive multitasking OS, so when you tell it to wait, you're pretty much deadlocking yourself.

Could be wrong.
