Aaarrggghh!! (Page not being displayed)

[Philster]

I have an application that looks for the operating system and goes to the specific page for that OS. Page "Windows 2000" works just fine. The application goes to the "Windows NT" page for NT, but it displays for a split second, then goes away. I've even tried putting a text dialog (with an "OK") on the initialization of the page and I get the same results: a flash & gone page. I've tried creating the page from scratch and tried duplicating the 2000 page, editing the changes necessary. I don't understand how it could be a logic issue, since it's not even processing the page (not stopping for the dialog). Could I be missing something?? Thanks!

when u say "but it displays for a split second, then goes away."

can u elucidate on "goes away" please. Someone may have a better idea if we can be clear on exactly what is happening.

Thanks

Geez Derek, I think I'm going to have to get one of those "word-a-day" calendars to keep up with you

LOL Worm... Okay, the screen comes up with the NT options. But it's only for a split second, then the application ends. No more Autoplay. :/ So I know it's detecting the OS. Also, if I "Preview" the page, it's fine, including the dialog. Could it be NT4? I did the page preview on the development machine (2000).

Don't know if it'll help, but I've attached the project so far so you can have a look at it.

he whole project just freezes on me.

[Philster]

What OS? XP or 9x aren't set up yet. Only 2000. was working on NT

[rhosk]

It froze on me too. Philster, you have some conflicting code on your initialize of the project AND initialize of the page "Main". Just get rid of the one or the other and it will work for you.

[Philster]

rhosk....

I hadn't seen the option for a startup page in the project tab. So if I manipulate that, I can unload the whole "JumpToPage" code?

Thanks, btw... :

[Philster]

Ok... thanks again rhosk. I saw what you meant. Guess I'll have to whack someones hand with a ruler over here. :( I was off one day and they let someone else play around with Autoplay. They set the code in the project. I hadn't changed anything in the project settings at all yet. That's why I was using the Main page. Glad you caught that. I would have been going crazy forever, since I didn't change anything in there.

Well, you opened up the opportunities in there, too. I got it working. Thanks again everybody!
