Gerard. Thansk for the reply. I had the same feeling. Strange think is that 
it says err:ntdll but there is no NT nor XP nor W2K. Just the Windows 98. I 
am even running it with the -winver win98 - same result. I have now set all 
the libraries (even the default) to 'builtin'. It DOES start the notepad 
now but for any "more complex application" it behaves the same as before. I 
have tried Macromedia Dreamweaver, Winword, Outlook and few others. If I 
set any library (e.g. the default) to 'native' it would fail. Any idea?
