Hi Linda,

I also faces similar problem like you do with my Win95b system running on a PC with AMD processor. The system run my DOS application fine but run slowly when
I run my Win Based application written using Vfp5a.

I had tried lots of ways to solve it but still in vain. I just like to
know whether you had solve your problem and find any cause or solution to
your problem as it may also help me in my problem. Thank a lot.
You can email me at vsimsn@pacific.net.sg

Thank you.

>Norvel 4.1 networked LAN with approximately 6 PC workstations running Windows 95b. Application (developed with VFP6,SP2) is installed on each workstation with tables on the server.
>Problem: The application on the workstation #1, which gets the most use, slows to a crawl - takes 4-5 minutes to get a record. I can go to another workstation and log on, open the form and find the same record in less than 2 seconds while the 1st workstation is still looking. Data entry also slows to a crawl on the 1st workstation. Warm booting the system will sometimes speed the application up but within an hour or so has slowed down again. Sometimes the warm boot doesn't even speed it up. A cold boot almost always works but, again, the system slows down within an hour or so.
>Even with the cold boot, sometimes the record search is still too slow. Records being searched as less than 50,000. All tables have been checked for Rushmore. All tables have deleted() tag.
