drive locking, still puzzled... was: win v3.1 vs v4.0

It's the darnest thing....

I changed the interpreter to windows version 4.0, and it now allows 
applications that are already running to continue to run, but i still cannot 
launch new shortcuts to programs while the fillowing sleep() loop is executed:

    readfile = open("U:\\newsgetter\\Eu webgetter tcp4u\\miningabc.txt","r")
    if not equal(readfile,-1) then -- doing news mining, slow down some
      close(readfile)
      junk = 120
      while junk > 0 do
        titlebar("got number "&sprintf("%d",lastgoturlcount)&" ; sleeping 
"&sprintf("%d",junk)&" sec...")
        sleep(1)
        junk -= 1
      end while
    end if

The newsminer uses tcp4u, this one uses urlmon.dll (wrapped up in mic's 
urlmon.ew). Each has all their include files in their own lil spot on the drive,
none of them share include files.

And the really odd things is the program that's in is on drive U:/, while the 
desktop is of course on C:/ and the app the shortcut i try to start is on D:/. 
The D:/ app opens, and then i get an hourglass until this Eu app stops 
sleeping. They are different physical drives, not just different partitions on
one
drive. Why is this happening?
