 FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run
I have an application written in FoxPro 2.6. It runs fine on many PCs
(even the ones above 333 MHZ after applying a patch), except one PC.
It seems that my application starts loading but then disappears
completely. Does anyone know by any chance what is the problem or
where can I start looking for a solution? The specific PC has Windows
NT as an operating system. Please, help me!
Thanks in advance,
Ewa

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run Ewa, Are you asking about a FPD or a FPW 2.6 application? (FoxPro for DOS or FoxPro for Windows). How much memory is on the system? What settings (especially MEMLIMIT) do you have in the CONFIG.FP (or .FPW) file? Is the data local or on a network? Rick

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run It's a FoxPro for Windows (FPW 2.6). The computer has 32 Meg of RAM. The MEMLIMIT=70,3072 in my config.fpw file. The database is on the network. The application was first run from the network also, but it didn't
work, so it was installed locally, which didn't help either.
I never before looked at or paid attention to the config.fpw file.
Here is all it's contents:
KEYCOMP = WINDOWS
MVCOUNT=600
MEMLIMIT=70,3072
EXCLUSIVE=OFF
CATMAN=OFF
Thank you,
Ewa

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run Ewa, You might want to add the third parameter (maximum RAM) to the MEMLIMIT line. e.g. I use: MEMLIMIT = 60, 2048, 15360 FPW can't use more than 16mb (but it may try anyway <s>), due to the
underlying memory manager assumptions. (Remember when FPW was first
released, 4mb was a lot and only "servers" had more than 16mb!)

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run If it's NT it might be a lack of environment space - especially if your Task Manager shows a NTVDM process sucking up CPU time. Try putting this in your \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT SHELL=%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\COMMAND.COM /e:2048
Then restart.

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run It still doesn't work! I added the suggested (by "Surge") line into the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT file, rebooted the system, lunched the application (written in FPW 2.6), but it closes after a second. Any other suggestions??? Please, help. Ewa

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run That MEMLIMIT line looks a bit weird actually. Try removing it temporarily and see what happens.

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run I followed your advice, Rick, and corrected the MEMLIMIT line. I tried the exact one you are using. Still no luck! I don't know what to do. Any other advice? Please, help. Thanks,
Ewa

FoxPro 2.6 application cannot run Do the systems where it's working have anything in the Config.nt file? Check them against the system where it's not working... --
