I'm running a new vesrion of a program that I have been running on
XP for years (the last four versions worked fine) and I know from the
product's user forum that it does work on XP, so it must be my
machine. When I attept to run my program, I get a splash screen and
then nothing. Does XP keep any sort of log that might tell me what is
wrong? I have recently uninsalled Visaul Studio 2008. The process to
uninstall that leaves all sorts of fragments of the program, including
at least fifty registry keys (it took me two hours to find and remove
all of them). Before I removed he fragments, each time I ran this
program, I got an Unhandled Win32 Exception but XP said that the
Visual Studio just-in-time debugger was not enabled so it could not
provide me any more information. I don't want to have to re-jinsall
Visual Studio just to find out what the error is, especialy if all it
tells me is thee's an exception. For all I know, it was a piece of VS
left behind that threw this exception but it is cleare that my program
is failing. Surely there's an easier way to debug this, yes?
Thanks.

Ken

Sorry. When I posted the previous message, it appeared to me that my
connection to Google Groups had failed (I got a 500 message) and I
didn't see it when I returned to this group. So please ingore this
