Newbie question

[Clay Dragon]

Hello,

I tried to convert my qb programs to fb win32 applications. But, as soon as I use screen 13 in a test program and compile it, the result application cause the following error involving kernel32.dll:

Illegal operation, this program will shut down.

Here is the test program:

defsng a-z

#include fbgfx.bi

screen 13

cls

print "Hello world!"
while inkey$="":wend

And here are my computer specifications:

Hardware:
Pentium 200MMX
32Meg RAM
40Gig Hard Drive

Software:
Windows 98SE
DirectX 8.1

Now, my question is:

What are the minimal hardware requirements for win32 applications generated by FreeBASIC?

works fine here,

if you use fbc 0.13 -it's possible you haven't run install.bat file that comes with freebasic 0.13

Works fine for me too.

I don't think fbdfx needs to be included anyway, isn't it done automaticly?

Hi VonGodric,

I used the package FBIDE v0.4 provided by your website which execute the FB 0.13 install.bat batch program automatically...

Problem with your kernel32.dll. Had the same prob at the office computer after a virus attack.

Reinstall?

It may as well be a problem with gfxlib itself. I've had other people using Win98 having the same kernel32.dll problem... So it's probably an incompatibility issue; I've probably used some API calls that aren't 100% compatible with Win9x. Infact there are no problems under Win2k/XP.
Unfortunately I haven't got Win98 so I can't easily spot where the problem is... If someone running Win98 and with enough knowledge could help me by reporting what gdb returns while running a crashing app, I'd be grateful...

Thanks guys,

Relsoft, I reinstall FBIDE and FB already but the problem remains...

I may be off here, but could it be a version problem with DirectX? Seems like I saw mentioned that the gfx lib uses DirectX if available or falls back to the GDI. I know I have had no end of problems with DirectX using 98 while none with Win2K.
