>>>After PREVIEWing a REPORT, I find my resources getting lower and lower, till I must reset my PC or else... I had that problem with FP for Windows also; is it something I am doing wrong, or is it just an unsolved-yet bug?

>>I had a HP printer - 720c I think. Went round and round with tech support at MS and HP. I had the same problem, in fact if you turn on the resource meter found windows system tools, you could watch it go down and never release. This was in VFP5.0a with SP3 and all updates to Windows 95. Worked with HP on this problem - they finally figured it was their driver and bought the printer back from our company. It also caused the same problem with the latest OEM version of 95 on a Dell computer and a HP 800 series printer. HP said it was a memory leak but there was not enough demand for VFP to cause them to correct it. I posted this on the thread earlier this year.

>I also encountered this problem before with Visual foxpro 3.0a. It took me some time to feature it out that it is cause by the HP driver. However, I solve it using win95 own genetic printer driver instead of using HP printer driver. It help until HP solve the memory leaking.


In my case I tried this also, but the generic HP printer driver ( I believe it was a 540 ) printed GIANT LETTERS! I was using a HP 720c so maybe it works with other HP's. I don't know if HP plans on changing the drivers though.
