    Hello all,

    i dunno if that's the right newsgroup to ask, but i'll try, please
    ignore me if u feel its not 0:)

    i've been messing with a control panel app for so long.. previously i
    was using Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and had ZERO problems, but now at
    work we switched to Borland C++ 6.0.

    The control panel applet i did contains a simple form with a
    PageControl and some buttons, it works fine and all, except that,
    sometimes, the first time i open windows control panel, after copying
    the .cpl to windows system directory, i get "Abnormal program
    termination" error, explorer crashes and restarts itself, now after
    this if i open the control panel again it works fine...

    Sometimes it just works even at the first launch, i tried it on
    another box and it does same thing.

    I noticed that if i install the cpl, then reboot, then let the system
    boot nicely (wait before it did every initialization, launched every
    service and so on) and open the control panel it works, if instead i
    open the cpanel while hd is still loading other programs/etc it
    crashes 100%.

    Can this some form of timeout? maybe windows control panel wants each
    .cpl to answer to inquire messages in a short period? (consiering the
    amount of bloat the cpl has to load, cc3260mt.dll, borlndmm.dll, some
    stupid bpl files and all it might take too long).

    I even tried disabling "Build with runtime packages" (so it includes
    the .bpl fiels in the .cpl itself) but i even get worse problems, like
    windows cpanel crashing everytime i open it.

    This has been pissing me very much for the whole freaking morning,
    damn it, any1 know what im doing wrong ?
