WDShell.dll causes problems in two XP systems I have

I have two notebooks that I have windev 8/9 installed on. They are both HP's. One is a large 17" notebook and the other is a 15" centrino I use for traveling.

Here's the problem:

I've got a piece of software I wrote in Delphi 5 a few years ago. This software takes some fields on the screen, and converts it into a string that is passed through ShellExecute to call my email client (Outlook Express).

On the centrino notebook, when I try this, the program just disappears when I hit the "email" button. On the 17" HP desktop, I was getting an access violation with WDShell.dll.

I've spent quite a bit of time on this and the only thing that corrects the problem is to issue a;

regsvr32 /u wdshell.dll

to remove the WDShell from registered services.

What exactly is the WDShell doing? And better yet, why would it be causing a problem like this?


Thanks,
Ken
