I suspect a problem at your end.

Humm. There are lots of types of resources. Out of resources rarely
means you have run out of memory. PMDLL does not report this error
explicitly. Are you getting a popup message or is this message showing up
on the command line? E-mail me a screen shot if you can capture one.

There's something about your MP setup the PMDLL is not handling correctly.
Does PMDLL work for something simple like tedit.exe?

I'm running with the settings 128, 512 and 10 and PMDLL works fine for all
the BA2KWS EXEs. The only difference is I am running the workstation
version, not the server version, so some of my DLLs will differ.

Have you ever been able to make it fail on your production partition?

Google is my friend. There's a link at:

<http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2001/scoug03.troubleshooting.html>

The IBM domain is a bit sluggish at the moment, so I can't be sure if the
link is still alive. I can e-mail you a copy if all else fails.

HTH,

Steven
