Which suggested solution is that? There were 2 in that thread. Anyway, Emacs developers need help to debug this, as none of us has access to a Windows 9X machine anymore. If you are willing to work with us, I'm sure we will find the solution. And no, we don't want to discontinue support for running Emacs on Windows 9X, not yet anyway. TIA
