Hi there, Is there some reason that running a win32s program from the startup group under windows 3.1 does not work? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks Issie There is 1 Reply.

Issie, I have not been able to reproduce this problem. I have tried FreeCell and several other applications and they all start without any problems. Have you tried putting FreeCell into your Startup Group to see if it will run? Thanks, Michael Markley [Microsoft Developer Support] There is 1 Reply.

Well, I tried a few things. The problem seems to occur with WINEXIT that is available on the forum. I found that If I put it first in the startup list, it does not start. If I place it third, it does not start. If I place it fourth. (last) then it does start. It seems that WIN32S takes a while to start?. BTW I am running beta2 for Windows for Workgroups if this makes any difference. Thanks Issie There is 1 Reply.

Issie, I am not familiar with WINEXIT. What does it do? I looked around and could not find it in the MSWIN32 forum. Also Win32s should be ready to run once Windows comes up. All of the files are loaded on an as needed basis. I can have Win32s apps in any order in the Startup Group. Thanks, Michael Markley [Microsoft Developer Support] There is 1 Reply.

Michael, The WINEXIT program is availabble on WINNT. I tried moving things around in my startup group, and now everything seems to work fine. I am not quite sure what is going on, but I do know that my win32s program was NOT being started before. I will investigate further, and let you know if I find anything. Thanks Issie
