Running 16-bit delphi on windows nt4

Question: When running 16-bit Delphi on Windows NT 4.0, running or debugging in the IDE locks up the system. What causes this and how can it be fixed? Answer: USERHTML The problem is caused by running 16-bit Delphi on a 32-bit operating system it was never intended nor certified to run on. A known conflict between 16-bit Delphi and NT 4.0 is enabling Delphi's environment options "Minimize on run" and "Integrated Debugging" at the same time. Disabling the "Minimize on run" usually solves this problem, and is recommended as a workaround.
