Is it a FoxPlus executable, or are you running from the dev environment?

Can you get the dev environment running on Vista (i.e. the dot prompt)?

I don't run Vista so I can't give you exact tips for it, but in general terms you can try:
-- try using the COMMAND.COM shell (if still present in Vista) rather than CMD.EXE
Start...Run...COMMAND.COM (you may need to prefix its path)

-- if you want to set up a shortcut, you can make the target something like
COMMAND.COM /C mfoxplus.exe (dev environment)
COMMAND.COM /C MyFoxPlusExecutable.exe

-- you can also play around with any available compatibility options for shortcuts e.g. Win98 compatibility.
-- also, don't give it any extended or expanded memory, force it to run in 640K
