Hi,
It is all about ensuring that FP is running in low memory, using the config.nt settings, also you can run the EXE from a batch file.

>>Hi,

>>Here's a couple of fixes we use to run Foxpro DOS in Win 2 K and Win XP:
>>
>>QuickEdit interferes with the mouse operation.
>>- Run REGEDIT, search for all occurences of QuickEdit. Change the key value from 1 to 0 (which turns off QuickEdit for all DOS windows)
>>
>>Foxpro consumes too many CPU cycles. This is easily fixed (once you've turned off QuickEdit)
>>- create a batch file with the command
>>START "Foxpro - MyProgram" /low foxprox
>>- this opens a new window running Foxpro
>>- the "Foxpro - MyProgram" in quotes becomes the title of the Foxpro window.
>>- the /low parameter sets the CPU priority of Foxpro DOS to low, so it stops hogging the CPU. This only seems to work if you start it in a new window... there is no way of running it at the reduced CPU priority in the existing window.
>>- foxprox is the name of the 32 bit version of Foxpro DOS
>>
>>We add these changes to \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT
>>FILES=150
>>shell=%systemroot%\system32\command.com /e:1024
