My app 'stack overflows' on old NT4 PCs

[davidchardonnet]

Hello,

I made an application which has many Forms (about 15). On my brand new W2k PC running at 1.4 Ghz it works great. But when I install it on an old NT 4 PC running at 300MHz, it started to call Dr Watson. With some exception handling I found that it was a 'stack overflow' which made it crash.
I changed the stack size in my linker otions, but it's the same...
Does anybody know what I can do to make it work?

Thank you

David

Install the latest SP (SP6a) on NT before anything else.
Then check if you are using ADO or something like that, and update that also, as needed.
Then check if using any internet related functions, if so upgrade IE to at least IE5.50sp2 to solve that.
If using any comcontrols, upgrade to the correct version of ComCtl(blabla) dll, suited for NT, and remove the W2K version.....
If after this stil prob's remain, ditch NT4 as a supported platform...........;-)

HTH, TonHu

Thank you TonHu,

I had installed MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) as I use ADO components in Delphi. And after your answer I installed the SP6a on the target NT4 PC. And now IT WORKS!!

Thank you very much for your help TonHu.
