All GNAT versions later than GNAT 3.15p, were compatible with Windows NT=
  =

(or like) kernels. Prior to Windows XP, Windows NT and other Windows  =

version were different things. I guess that may be source of the failure=
.

You have to either switch to Windows XP or Windows NT. As this may not m=
e  =

possible (depending on the requirements), you may use GNAT 3.15p instead=
.
You can get one here:

(the first link is a download for Windows, the second is a download for =
 =

RedHat).

Note: I use to =E2=80=9Cplay=E2=80=9D with GNAT under Windows 95. Was OK=
 with GNAT 3.15p,  =

but cannot remember if I ever used a later version in the same  =

circumstance. As far as I can remember, GNAT 3.15p provided Ada 95 (no A=
da  =

2005, obviously). You will also have to forget about the debugger which =
 =

was not working (I am noticing this for you, as I don't use debuggers  =

myself).
