does this mean that the GDI has been deleted or improved in W2k so as to eliminate this seemingly constant crash threat? The GDI interface in Windows 2000 has been improved. In Windows 2000 the GDI data storage area uses 32 bit addressing and installing more memory increases the size of the GDI data storage area. Whereas in Windows 98 the GDI data storage area uses 16 bit addressing and has a maximum size of 64k bytes. However, because the Windows 2000 GDI data storage area uses 32 bit addressing some old Windows 3.1, 95 and 98 programs may not be compatible with Windows 2000. Take a look at some of the messages Moving Sphere has posted recently. He has had very good results in upgrading to Windows 2000 to eliminate Windows 98 GDI and User resource limitation problems.
