support for 16bit apps (wowexec.exe) has gone astray!

[Guest JR]

Any suggestions please! Familiar with internals of win2kpro but this one has

beaten me!

 

After a few probs and rebuild of system, suddenly any 16bit

program(Coreldraw 5 for example) which opens with "wowexec" has an odd

problem. Programs open/run fine, but when a ''open file'' command is issued

and the dialog box pos up, all files on current partition are shown but the

''drive'' box is either blank or showing the current drive only. Opening up

the drop box, show just a large white space.

 

However, putting full path in the filename box is fine.

 

Please, which file(s) handle this particular box (as different format to all

other 'open' boxes) so i can copy from a back up.

 

Not a vital issue with small use, but a real puzzler.

 

many thanks
