BP7 + Protected mode apps + Windows 95/98 = slowdown

Hey

I'm experiencing a problem with my protected mode application under windows
95/98. When i launch my app, two things happens :
1) the system becomes very slow under windows
2) when i hit the \ key (ALTGR+8), the backslash take 1 second to appear on
the screen.

And sometimes, the keyboard lock hit self (like if SHIFT or CTRL key stay
down).

Does someone have any idea ?

That's because when 16 bit apps are loaded, the tasking methods are
changed. It goes from preemtive to cooperative.

You have to release the current virtual machine time-slice while you are waiting
for a keystroke, i.E. like this:

begin
repeat
asm
mov ax, 1680h
int 2Fh
end;
until KeyPressed;
end.
