   As far as WC6.4 XP SP3 compatibility mode and Windows 10 from my testing   
   all it does is screw up things, some of my programs wouldn't even function   
   properly with it set and I tried all the different OS modes even the   
   compatibility troubleshooter which I abruptly aborted when I saw where it   
   was going. Have you tried wcMail and wcStart and all the other WC apps for   
   that matter without any compatibility mode on them? That's the way I'm   
   running WC6.4 without any problems on a 2CPU Pentium 4 under W10 Pro 32Bit.   
      
   What is your last entry in wcStart? Does it have "wait for program to   
   finish" box checked?
