    The difference between Win2000 & WinXP?

    I just developed an Application under Win2000+ VC 6.0, it runs well in Win95, Win98, and Win2000.
    But today one of my customer told me that he installed WinXP in his computer, and my application can not run on his system.
    Is the problem caused by developing environment? If i want my application to run on WinXP, should I recbuild the project in WinXP and VisualStudio.NET?
    Who can tell me the reason?
    If i am senseless and i could answer your question, i will.

    There is no major differences between Win2k and XP;

    My suggestion is - try running the program in WinXP in Compatibility Mode.

    Lots of things don't work right on windows xp, because it is crap...
    Download the platform sdk. Then you can use the Windows XP debug enviroment to find the problem. It will open a console, just goto your exe directory and run it. While it is running, start visual studio and attach to it.

    Can you give more details on: 'and my application can not run on his system.'

    That's very vague...what happens when it is executed? Is it dependent on a dll?

    Windows XP is an abomination
    Wakeup in the morning and kick the day in the teeth!! Or something like that.
