Thanks Myles for giving the meaning of the error message.
As far as I know, my code does not reference absolute address. (Can't be
sure about the components I used.)
For peace of mind, I re-test my distribution disk to make sure the EXE is
not corrupted. I'm gonna test it on ANOTHER win95 PC next.
Cheers,
Kuet-Fung.

I know what it means but I am very surprised!!
By default Delphi programs load at address $0040000, but i another program
is using this address range, Windows will relocate it to another address
range automatically (if ir can) - it would appear for some reason this
failed, or the executable has been marked (corrupted) as non-relocatable.
I thought all Delphi apps were relocatable (I did not know there was an
option to turn it off?? - or can someone correct me here !)
You can change the default base address of a program on the linker options
page, by default it is $0040000.
You don't have references to variables being at absolute addresses?? (This
can be done, but I don't know if this has any affect on the program being
marked as non-relocatable).
Myles.
