trying to run vfp3 under XP -- not working - Insufficient memory

I have an old working foxpro application (executable) that I want to
port over to Windows XP. its been working fine with the foxpro 3
runtime installed using Windows 2000 and below. Now under XP, everyone
gets Insufficient memory when they try to run that same app.

I remember reading something about memory settings and perhaps something
that can go in the config.fpw file.
Does anyone know what I can do to make this work?

Thanks. Jay

P.S. the app has already been replaced with a new Fox app, but the old
diehards still want to be able to run the old app from time to time for
some silly reason.

P.P.S. if i can find the source code in tact, i would have compiled it
into a more modern runtime, but cant seem to lcoate all the correct pieces.

Thanks Lee.
I've seen that before and it works on a optiplex gx270 with 512mb ram,
but not with 1024 ram. I assumed it had something to do with the OS,
but you are correct it is probably the memory amount.
Aren't there memory settings that can go in the config file that also
affect this? I remember reading something about this in the past.
Thanks.
