[This was posted to ALL a couple days ago, but I'm not confident with WinCim, so here goes again.] I'm sure this has been asked, but I couldn't find a thread with the answer . . . What is the best way to run AAPRO under Win95? Under beta build 950 I had no problem running it as a full-screen Win95 app. That is, I didn't need to configure it to drop into MS-DOS mode. So I could switch in and out of Ani w/no problems. Now I have the final Win95 release: Ani still runs, but if I switch out and then back in, I usually get "The application could not be restored and will be terminated." Sometimes I get "The application has use memory at [some address] and will be terminated." I tried configuring it as a DOS-only app, but then I don't get Windows network support, which I need. What to do?

Thank you. That's disappointing, but it's not your fault 8-). I'm interested in those programming issues, if you don't mind providing a brief descripition.
