This is not a bug on fast machines, I have seen this for several months on old and new machines. We felt it had a lot to do with a Word Perfect program that was being run before FoxPro 2.6, but later on I have found this to be false. The only way we have gotten by it is to reboot, and with newer machines I have seen it lock up a machine to where you could not reboot, you had to turn of the power and restart the computer. IF anyone has an answer to this it would be nice to find out about it. I am runing the speed pathc and I still get it.

Thats my 2 cents.
