I'm still crashing when clicking on the menu bar after running apprunner. I crash often in _InitProcMenu or something similar. This is a serious blocker for me. I can't work like this.

I think I've just checked in a fix for this... I've been running with Palm since last night, and I changed a few things that seem to fix the problem. I'll wait for simon to verify before closing the bug
Simon, are you still crashing?
[I believe this is the same conflict that Word 5.1 & 98 has with Palm Desktop. I could check, but don't want to crash. ;]
