OI System Editor malfunction under Windows 2000 Pro (OpenInsight)

Just installed latest OI 3.7.3 on a new Athlon 1GHz server running Windows 2000 Pro (completely updated via Windows Update, including SP1). Got it to serve via IIS, no problem.
BUT for some reason we are unable to modify stored procedures! No changes we do in the System Editor are recorded despite we do save and compile them indeed!
Neither restart of the machine nor reinstall of OI helped.
Besides, it is not possible to perform searches in the editor. SHIFT+F3 brings up the search box but any search yields a "Passed end of record!" message.
Anybody having similar troubles? Is it some battle between OI and W2K Pro? Or AMD Athlon? Or did we forget some crucial OI settings?
Help!!

Anthony-
I'm using a Toshiba 4300, 12 Gig hard drive, 320 Meg memory.
Windows 2000 Professional- build/version 5.00.2195
Processor=Pentium 3, x86 Family 6 model 8 Steping 3
The only problem I've seen is that in the system editor, when I choose File-Open Record, I can't double click on the Row list to get the item. I have to type it in.

Get rid of point32.exe - might cure the sys editor problem. SP's can't be bigger than 32k exactly otherwise the won't save.

The function is larger than OI will allow.
Under Win2K and NT the max size of function is smaller than that allowed under Win 98 etc.
Only solution is to move some code to separate called subroutine or use an insert and hence reduce the size of the function.
By way of example I cannot compile or modify SCAN_REP (a Revelation supplied function) under Win2k.

There's no "point32.exe" in the computer.
32k … that's surprisingly little. When we tested under Win 2000 Server we could go up to 56k! So much difference between W2K Server vs Professional?

Very helpful, thanks!!
True, if I open a small program, I CAN search and my modifications ARE saved and compiled.
This is crazy: when we tested under Win 2000 Server we could use functions as big as 56k! Now under Win 2000 Professional we can't go over 32k, which means we will have to split up half of our functions! Is it normal to see so much difference between the two Win versions? I thought they had the same core capabilities!?

That's our experience on NT service pack 5 and above(it allowed more iwith earlier versions).
If you have trouble with searching in the sys editor try eliminating startup items one by one using windows diagnostics - thats how we forund the program that was causing the problem. Point32.exe is mouse related stuff in Windows Millenium edition

Anthony ..
My experience is that as software developers, we spend approximately 50% of our support time debugging infrastructure incompatibilities. We have found significant differences between Win2K and Win2K Pro, not to mention Win ME, various releases of Win98, NT (particularly service pack issues), various Novell Client / Server versions, etc. I'm afraid that the situation is going to get worse rather than better. Like you, we were alarmed at the prospect of having to split up hundreds of routines just to compile them under Win2K Pro. We simply threw Win2K out and reverted to Win98 for our development platform. This doesn't help fix various run-time issues though. It's getting very hard to buy new computers without Win ME pre-installed. In fact if you buy from Dell, and remove Win ME, you void the warranty (at least that's what their tech support said 3 weeks ago).
Pretty crappy ..
