give me
Invalid Floating point operation

I fixed it decreasing MaxCurrency by 1.0 and increasing MinCurrency by the same quantity.

I didn't investigate it further. But I'm wondering why I'm the only one with this problem.
sysstrh.inc is version 1.15 last change by peter at 2005/2/14 17:13:31



You are not the only one, it happens to me too, using windows xp sp2 on a Pentium4 2.6 Ghz, but not using windows 2k on a Pentium4 1.5Ghz.


Also Florian could not reproduce this problem, but somebody else on the Lazarus list reported this too.



I tried with Windows XP now (AMD64 though), no success, i.e. it works


The call to GetSystemMetrics changes the FPU control word from $1372 to $1272, i.e. the Rounding precision is changed from extended to double.


In the attached patch I set it back to the original value. Now I can build a new compiler again. :-)

Vincent.
