Is anyone aware of a conflict with the following: Visual C++ 5.0, Windows 98, and a DELL Dimension XPS T500 PC? Since swapping to this new PC, our debug builds crash in various locations. Does not happen with VC5.0 on other PCs. Any ideas?
TIA,
Mike

What type of processor, RAM or other significant hardware does it have? I don't know if I can help you, but other people may be able to if you give a little background on the hardware. I have two Dell's myself, but I am not familiar with the T500 systems.
I'll try to help you if I know a little more about the HW...
Good luck!

Thanks....
The particulars....
Pentium II 500 mhz
MMX
128mb
DVD drive
Sound card
Thanks again!
As one cannot be sure of another's computer experience here I'm sorry in advance if this is a stupid question...Did you check the Control Panel/System folder/Device Manager tab for any conflict hardware or device drivers? All the folders under the Device Manager tab should be collapsed and have a + sign next to them if the devices underneath their headings are functioning correctly. If there are any ? (yellow question marks) or other weird symbols, there is probably your problem.
Also, you may want to check out Dell support at:

Hope this'll help ya'...

Did you re-build on the new machine or used a build from the old one?
Thanks to everyone who offered help. We discovered the root of our problem. It was a setting on a NVidia graphics accelerator card. We had to scale back to the "basic" setting.
Thanks again.
Hey, I use the NVidia too! Maybe I'll keep that in mind if I have any probs...Good luck & thanks.
