Default Problem with encoding date - but works on Win98

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 . . .
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.


Windows XP offers "compatibility" settings, to emulate Win95 or
Win98, which solves this type of problem about 80 per cent of
the time. "Compatibility" is explained via / Start / Help.

1. Win9x/ME is a different family than NT and thus can have compatibilities issues if it
isn't coded to be NT caompatible.

2. It probably wasn't Y2K compliant and thus the error.
