>I think VFP8 requires at least SP3 to be installed for W2K. Have you installed your OS service packs?
I remember I had VFP8 installed on a W2K SP1 machine two years ago, no problem.
It's Office 2003 that required SP2... and my machine was never the same again. I started getting BSODs again, which I haven't seen for all the years when I ran w2kSP1.
