So why does it work intermittently? If I keep reloading it, it eventually works.Originally posted by ScorpionComment -
justin did you do any research on widows shimming?Comment -
all the apps i have that work on xp but dont work in windows7 work fine in windows7 XP mode, even 16 bit apps, doesnt hurt to try installing an older version of pascal and see if it worksComment -
Good Luck Justin. I've never used Pascal or Windows 7...
I think for Headaches sake and to continue making progress on whatever you are doing...
Go the virtual machine route... Microsoft has a free virtualization product called "VirtualPC". And VmWare also has a slew of virtualization products. If you go with VmWare Server its the best bet.Its free allows you create virtual machines (which can be run on any OS, unlike Virtual PC VM's). Unilke Vmware player, which too is free, but does not let you create virtual machines...Comment -
my home network:
PC on windows7
laptop on windows xp
in your situation i would run the app on my laptop from my pc, for me its just like im running it on my pc
its good to have a home network running on xp and windows7 for cases like this, all i have to do to access the laptop from my pc is to click on the laptop tab in the taskbar
so if you cant get it to work in windows7 or xp mode this is another solution if you dont want to re-write in another languageComment -
There is a good chance this is due to hardware problem. Run this RAM diagnostics: http://www.memtest86.com/download.html.Originally posted by Justin7Comment -
deleted. nevermind.Comment -
you are really asking for problems with this older compiler... id look to upgrade to turbo or something, but i personally use vmware everyday for multibooting and it would work well for you. You can probably find a torrent for it to download somewhere, pm me for help

Wow, everyone basically said the exact same thing just in different words.Comment -
probably this. sometimes backwards compatibility can only go so far.Originally posted by byronbbComment -
this is very interesting. hope it gets fixedComment -
Not ever going to work because your programming,language is ancient
Justin this is not the fukkin 70's stop acting like fukkin BobbyComment -
To Which Bobby Are You Referring?Comment -
Are you running the different O/S on the same computer?
If they are different computers. Is the windows 7 the only computer with enhanced cpu 386 chip?Comment -
Thanks for the link. This diagnostic only works for systems with <4GB RAM.Originally posted by DataComment -
It seems there is no easy fix for this software issue.
What version of Pascal is most likely to
1. Install/run easily, and
2. Have an integrated environment (where you can trace/debug line by line), and
3. Be mostly compatible with VP's code, requiring the least amount of coding change? I have 1000's of lines of code (most models are about 1000 lines), and I hope I don't have to rewrite much.Comment -
Im sure you know n windows7 the correct location for your 32 bit app is Program Files (x86) not Program FilesComment -
By removing memory modules, you can run diagnostics on 4Gb at a time. Seriously, this does look like memory problem.Originally posted by Justin7Comment -
If I had memory issues, I would expect to have problems with other programs.... which pretty much run fine for days at a time.Originally posted by DataComment -
If you reinstall it and it still causes problems then it is more of a compatibility issue. If it runs fine on xp but not Win7, then thats why.Comment -
And you would be wrong. The hardware issues tend to manifest themselves in strangest ways... Ironically, when it comes to dealing with computer hardware problems, the logic frequently does not need to apply. I formed this opinion not from the lack of knowledge in this area but from 20+ years of professional excellence.Originally posted by Justin7Comment -
what is this program/software used for justin?Comment -
Data is right though that a dodgy ram chip can manifest itself in many strange and wonderous ways, but prob a stretch that your attempts to run VP utilises a ram space containing storage issues that otherwise is not. Pretty sure you've tried a reboot and then just running VP and gotten identical results.
Just download and install VMWare server and be done with it ...Comment -
Were your installations of XP and Vista 32-bit? How about your Windows 7 installation?Comment -
Just to finish my thought before I hit the sack..
if you originally wrote the code for a 32-bit system, it may need to be recompiled specifically for a 64-bit system if you're running Windows 7 64bit. I've found that VBA code is not happy moving from one to the other.. maybe it's the same for Pascal.
In the case of VBA, there's a keyword you have to add to all your function declarations, 'ptrsafe'. It changes the way VBA stores memory locations. Good luck, hope you get it working.. I know I get pretty irritated when my applications don't work correctly!Comment -
Here's the DL link for VMWare Server, registration is free and will get an email with a serial # for installation.

Justin...were you ever able to fix this?Comment -
oh yeah forgot, never heard anything back on this ...Comment -
curious minds want to know ... are you happily running VMWare yet?
I got ahold of a downloaded copy of TP and it runs happily here in a WinXP VM in my Ubuntu install ...Comment -
There is absolutely no way that the solutions posted here did not resolve Justin7's problem.
Justin7, I gave you benefit of a doubt but you proved to be a consistent pathetic cheap stiff. Just want to make this very clear before the end of the year!

yeah figured I had bagged 600 pts but don't think he followed through on using a VM even though I provided all necessaries
