Another couple things I have run into running foxpro dos on newer xp and vista machines: Sometimes I've had to create a batch file that exlicitly calls the extened memory version of foxpro or the runtime ie "foxr +x" "fox +x" and on machines with a lot of memory you need to edit config.fp and put a
