Kept getting some message >about debugging something. Finally went back to 2006 version. Microsoft stopped to support Win 98 this year. This means among other things that they won't include Win 98 support in the softwares they are selling, including for instances the libraries that can be used by genealogy softwares. A recent software made from Microsoft compilers or libraries won't run on Win 98 or 98SE while if it is made with 3rd party development tools, it more likely will run.
