>>I am having a serious problem with two new machines running NT 4.0, SP4. VFP processes hang, and in some circumstances, terminate for no apparent reason. Opening Task Manager shows VFP status as 'Not running' These machines are 450MHZ PII's w/ 1G RAM. File sizes are 1G+ w/2M+ records. Has anyone else experienced this wierd behavior and/or know of a solution?

You may have nailed yourself, since the PII's address space is limited by the support chipset, and there are known cache coherncy issues with >512MB of physical memory and Slot 1 processors. I'd try reducing the physical memory, or switching to an NX chipset motherboard with Xeon processors if you really need 1GB of memory.

Running on an ASUS P2B-DS motherboard. 440BX Chipset. I checked out the MS KB and found this article:

Evidently just confirms what you already knew. So are my only options to:
a) Replace MB w/NX type
b) Reduce RAM to <512
c) Replace OS to Win98?
d) ??
