What does this mean? In my application, I don't go anywhere near AllocSelector etc.. but perhaps GlobalAlloc does? Anyone got any ideas? Anyone know of any network card/Sockets libraries for windows? Stef

Under standard mode you get something like 4k selectors, in enhanced 8k. That means you can't alloc more than that many global objects (note, windows uses some itself). Any program that reaches this limit is written wrong. On x86 you have to be aware of the number of selectors available. Chris
