Fred:
Have you tried creating a LNK file to the START.EXE file and then change the commandline
to:
%comspec% /e:1024 /c C:\cmp-itho\start.exe
Otherwise a function in an OBJ file might be the culprit and if so I have no other
ideas....

| Hello Dave,
|
| It is a DOS program ceated with QuickBasic 3.0 and it is fully in ascii,
| i.e. no graphics at all.
|
| And it is now running on a PC with Win2K pro, SP4 The full path of the
| executable is: C:\cmp-itho\start.exe This is the first of a set of small
| programs that are chained and linked, as was customary at that time.
|
| As soon as the start.exe is launched the processor runs at 100% A closer
| look shows that it is ntvdm.exe, who takes all proceesor time. Apart from
| that the whole system is doing fine.
|
| Thanks for your help, so far
|
| Fred
