Hi Nico!
I too have exactly the same problem with external dlls and win31.
Its looking like either Toolhelp.DLL or WIN87em.dll, but I cant
find out which as yet.

to hear form you A.S.A.P. If I find out any more i will let YOU knwo
Thanks :} Jeff...

Re:'A newer version of Windows is required'

I have a problem...like most of us here...
I'm developing a program with Delphi 1.0, because it has to run on
Win3.11. When I finished a small prototype I tested it on a win3.11
machine also and it worked fine, after copying a few DLL's it seemed
to need...
Now, a few months later, the program has grown and again I tried to
run it on a win3.11 machine. It asked for even more DLL's which I
copied from the win95 windows directory. Then when I tried to run the
program this message appeared 'A newer version of windows is
required'.

Does this mean I put in some 32bits components along the way? I
thought that was not possible with Delphi 1.0. Anybody ran into this
problem before? Any suggestions?

It is probably a 32-bit dll file that you are using that requires the
newer version fo windows. You need to get the dll off of a 16-bit
machine with delphi on it. This is only an educated guess though.
