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.
There have been reports of problems running FPD on machines faster than ~ 3.00
gHz, but I haven't been able to verify that.
Make sure you include a MEMLIMIT statement in your CONFIG.FP file. Allocating
too much memory can cause the "Insufficient memory" error! (Yes it doesn't make
sense, but when FPD was last updated there were very few machines with more than
a couple MBs of RAM - especially running DOS!) Since FoxPro DOS or Windows can't
use more than 16MB, I use MEMLIMIT = 60, 2048, 16384. Note: Others have disputed
these numbers, but they work for me!
