Looking for known Win98 CD-ROM issues

Hello,

I am testing the compatibility of my new application build on WinXp with
2.8.1. running from CD. Running the standalone on Win 2000 and XP and Mac OS
X works as expected. When testing Win 98, the exe is loaded into memory, but
the program doesn't start, no window comes up. I just can see the task in
the task manager. When copying the app on HD it runs also on Win 98. The app
has no "special functions" as writing files or registry, creating any
connection, no db - just plain, simple code. The only "special" is, showing
png images from a folder, what also works nice, running from HD.

My question, are there any known issues, what could happen on Win 98,
running from CD, or if not, is it just my test system or my CD drive? Has
anybody experienced a different behaviour between running from HD or CD?

 

Thanks

Tiemo
