>Thanks for a quick answer Naomi, yes I did read those questions and they were talking about VFP9. What is the VFP8 dll file I should be looking for and if I find these files, do I delete them all and start again ??

Here is a list for VFP8 run-time files

Try to move all dlls you found to some other place (say, move them to USB) and try over.
