Default Problem with encoding date - but works on Win98

Then he need to run his Windows Update
To fix it, for in 1999 thay put out a update to fix the Y2K
If he run all of the Windows Update, then Y2K is not the problem!

Go to the Program *.exe File
Right Click it
Open Properties
Go to Compatibility in Properties
Check Mark Run this Program in Compatibility made for:
Window 98 / Window Me
Click Apply
Click OK

To run the Program Compatibility Wizard
Start the Program Compatibility ( hcp://system/compatctr/compatmode.htm )
Wizard.
Follow the instructions in the wizard.
Note

To start the Program Compatibility Wizard, click Start, click Help and
Support, click Find compatible hardware and software for Windows XP, and
then, under See Also in the navigation pane, click Program Compatibility
Wizard.
Set the compatibility properties manually
As an alternative to running the Program Compatibility Wizard, you can
set
the compatibility properties for a program manually. The settings are the
same as the options in the Program Compatibility Wizard.

To set the compatibility properties for a program manually
Right-click the program icon on your desktop or the shortcut on the Start
menu for the program you want to run, and then click Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab, and change the compatibility settings for
your
program.
Notes

The Compatibility tab is only available for programs installed on your
hard
drive. Although you can run the Program Compatibility Wizard on programs
or
setup files on a CD-ROM or floppy disk, your changes will not remain in
effect after you close the program.
For more information about an option on the Compatibility tab,
right-click
the option and then click What's This.

Hi all


My problem is an older programme, Next from SCM for Windor 60 to
exact. Probably that doesnt tell you much.


Originally it works on Win98, and can be reinstalled and work on
Win98.
´
On Win XP however, it will work the first time, but after that it will
give this error:


Invalid argument to date encode.


Then an access violation will occur, and the programme will not work.
I tried it on to Win XP computers, the result is the same. That was
yesterday, 15.05.2010.
It does not even read in the language or anything. All functions
result in an access violation error.


As it works on Win98, it has to be related to some kind of windows DLL
or something.
Any ideas anyone?

The compability issue does not solve it. Not is it a Y2K problem, as
it works on Win98.

So, any other suggestions?
