Many thanks for your answer. I was unaware till yesterday of that DEP 
(Data Execution Protection) thing. In fact, I have verified now that 
for my OS, Windows XP 64 Pro, the default is having DEP only for 
system sensible programs and services. In fact, in my machine my old 
code from Delphi works perfectly. Therefore, I think that the obstacle 
lies in my own code (most probable), in Lazarus or in FPC compiler. 
This said, I have verified, to my surprise, that if I enable DEP for 
all programs, my code raises an AV and stops dead. Therefore I am 
deeply troubled about the future of my programas because I have two 
problems, that of DEP and that of 64 bits code.

I understand that from now on this and other messages will be posted 
also to the newsgroup?
