RE: trying to run vfp3 under XP -- not working - Insufficient memory error

| Hi Jay:
I believe you are seeing a known problem in VFP 3.0 caused by the amount of
RAM on the machine. See 137809 FIX: Insufficient Memory on a Computer That
Has 512 MB of RAM
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;EN-US;137809
I hope this helps.

| Hi Jay:
I do not know of any settings in the Config.fpw file that will help.
FoxPro 2.x had the memlimit command for the Config file, but that command
is no longer valid in VFP.
You can reduce the amount of RAM Windows uses with the Boot.ini file, but
this effects all programs. See 139157 How To Reducing RAM Memory to Test
Visual FoxPro Applications
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;EN-US;139157
I hope this helps.
