I ported a program written in Delphi-3 on a Windows-9x platform
to a new computer with Delphi-7 on a Windows Vista 64 bit platform.
It took a while to get it to work but then the computer insists on
overlaying a four color shield over the icon for the final
application.
Can someone tell me what
is the name of your executable -
certain words in the name can trigger the OS to think this.

I have a large plain text file I want to load into a

a simple TMemo so I chose a TRichEdit. The problem is
it does not let me edit the text, my keystrokes are
ignored. It works okay for small text files.

Thank you for the reply. I know how to find the info from
the device manager. What I really want to know is how to
code in Delphi how to enumerate the COM ports or how to
search down the registry tree.

I have a program that uses the random number generator and
there is no Randomize statement in it. From the help files
this should produce the same sequence of random numbers
every time the program runs.
The question is, is the sequence the same for all operating
systems that the program runs on?
. I thought that it would work as I want but I
just wanted to make sure.
Thanks for the reply.

Use ShellExecuteEx instead. You get the process handle which can be used to
kill the process.
