BDE error on opening P9

#1

I've recently started moving software from my Win2000 box to one running
XP Pro.

I've just installed Paradox 9, but every time I try and start it, I get
the splash screen very briefly and then this error message:

Could not initialize BDE.: Insufficient shared memory available.

I've been on the net but haven't found anything completely equivalent
except that this message can occur if one tries to run two copies of
Paradox at once. I'm not.

I'd be grateful for advice as to how to get it going.

My BDE is version 5 with the files like Idapi32.dll, etc., dated
19/11/1999.

that meesage is usually associated with other BDE usage, like Delphi.. can't
say that I know the last time (if ever) that I saw it associated with
Paradox software.. do a search on the BDE forum at Borland..

forums.borland.com is the newsgroup.. borland.public.bde is the section..
