I tried copying a Win 98 version of the DLL into the program directory, it said kindly "This MSIMG32.DLL file expects a later version of Windows - upgrade your Windows version". This was on Windows 95B which normally is able to accept a lot of Windows 98 stuff (eg it has FAT32).
I am pretty sure it is the RVSystem component, as the only programs that have RVSystem are the only ones with the problem, the rest are all using stock standard VCL components. I will experiment with a cut down version as an alternate...

It now has an option to draw as a gradient and that function isn't supported by Win95 or NT4. You can actually copy a MSIMG32.dll from Win98 or higher machine to the Win95 machine if you are able to do that. Alternatively you could write your own MSIMG32 dll that exports a GradientFill function with the same params as the API one and just don't implement it. Or you could tell them that Win95 is not supported anymore. cheers, Jeremy On 3/17/06, John Bird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > D2006: I have a program using Rave Reports in Code (RVSystem > component).
