I found this reply and replied to it in numerous newsgroups. Slowstart (foxstart) did NOT work at all for me but GMSTART (http://www.microweb.com/nlights/#pentalert) did work properly for me. Evidently, GMSTART is a modified version of slowstart/foxstart. On the 333 MHz machine it worked great. On the dual 400 machine i had to have the program run twice ( c:\foxpro26\gmstart.exe gmstart.exe foxprow.exe) but it does work 3 out of 5 times. Perhaps someone will develop a program that works 100% of the time.

This is the Reply I got from Mike Fernald:

Do not use this until you completely check it this is not currently a Citrix fix. Play on a separate machine. Backup before testing this I did not test it. So take it with a grain of salt if you do test it mail me your results.

fyi: customer with issue also found program, which they said worked when slowstart would not, called GMSTART.EXE at http://www.microweb.com/nlights/#pentalert

!!! PENTIUM II ALERT !!!
Fast Pentium II computers running Windows NT have occasional trouble starting some 16 bit programs, such as Grant Manager, because "Windows NT intermittently expects a program to be loaded before it actually is and the process never starts" (whatever that means!). To solve this problem, click here to download file GMSTART.EXE (225K) (originally written by Stephen
Farmer from VSS.INC and slightly modified by us for Grant Manager.) To install, copy the GMSTART.EXE -file to your Grant Manager folder, modify the properties of your Grant Manager (or any other "misbehaving" program) shortcut by adding the word "gmstart.exe " and a space before the GM3.EXE -command in the Target field under Shortcut tab. To modify a shortcut, right click on the shortcut icon, select Shortcut Tab and modify the Target -field. For example, if your program is GM3.EXE, your target should read:
"GMSTART.EXE GM3.EXE
