>>>Talk about a bad day, suddenly my VFP5 is "performing illegal operation" at startup and won't run at all. It's been running fine for months. This is what I've tried so far:
>>>1. Reboot 5 times.
>>>2. Set RESOURCE off.
>>>3. Deleted FOXUSER files.
>>>4. Commented out everything in Config.fpw
>>>
>>>Every other program works fine including FPW2.6 and VFP6 which I also have installed on this computer. Sadly, most of my projects are in VFP5. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Could it be picking up a startup PRG in an unintended config.fpw that runs something it doesn't like?
