A "255 result code in the error log" sounds like the Synchronet even thread is r
unning and its attempting to run the events. If you try to force an event to run
, do you see new activity in the event thread log output or a new error?

I'm assuming the Tradewars maintence is a 16-bit DOS program. Do native 32-bit W
indows events run okay? It'd be good to isolate which *kinds* of events you're h
aving problems with. If only 16-bit DOS events are failing, then that would star
t to indicate a problem with NTVDM (assuming we're talking about a Windows versi
on of Synchronet here) - is this a 32-bit Windows install or are you using NTVDM
x64?

The pasted output of your event log would help too.
