Re: A call to an OS Function failed??

Hi, I run into this error once in a while. It happens when application is doing nothing but showing its form, but no actions or anything is performed. I run application and IDE at the same time (by clicking application icon, not under debugger). So, once in a very large while, it will display this message, exception handler is constomized, so I get more info. What is this, and how do I track this thing down??

A call to an OS function failed.

it means, that while in one of the OS functions, an
Exception was fired off and your app caught it with
no direct local area to trace it too.
I've seen this before when other software caused problems.
things like Floating point operations etc..
Or some resource was unexpectedly not available at the
time of call and the OS does not have any code to handle this
unexpected problem. Almost sounds like a hardware driver.
