Default More freezups under XP - 03-21-2005 , 07:29 PM






Hi all;

I've had this problem for a while now, and I got some response from
the group, but the problem is still there...

Foxpro2.6 Dos running on XP freezes once in a while. This is on a few
pcs out of 50 or so.
I tried to set compatibility to Win2k or Win98. Also I have setup the
mouse to 'exclusive'.

None of these help.

Any new ideas?!?

Thx.,

AK.

AK,
Most all FoxPro DOS applications have problems running under XP/2000/2003. Check out TameDOS (http://www.tamedos.com/) or DOSIdle (free) if you can find it - these allow many DOS apps to run much better under XP. Another approach is to run Virtual PC, install DOS and run it in this true native environment.
