Re: Al Getz Display Server
It appears that you are using a file name, or path, for something in
there. The IPC call uses Shared Memory. Somehow, the path you are giving is
used as the name of the shared segment of memory. This is not allowed. I'm
not familiar with the IPC include, but you will have to change some
parameter so that it does not use any backslashes. Backslashes aren't
supposed to be allowed on Win 9x/ME either.
