I have some old Microsoft 'C' software (V6.0) that is still useful from time to time for some of our customers. I'm trying to come up with a workaround for a problem on 2000 and XP, but there may not be one other than rewriting the entire code in Windows. It may or may not be worth the effort.

It seems as though the 'setvideomode()' command (using non-text modes) has interface problems with XP and 2000 in that if the program is started, any shift to another window while the program is still executing causes the program to freeze up when returning back to that software window. Also, after the program is started, any minimizing of the window causes the same freeze up. One obvious workaround is the make sure that you never change windows during that software session. Anyone else ever experienced that and has anyone know of a workaround? Thanks.
