Hi Paul --

The statement DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 4096 in your config.sys should work. Are you running this in a DOS Window, or shelling out to DOS under Windows? Or is this standalone DOS? (which version of DOS, not that is should matter). Under Windows it could be a problem and it has to do with VCPI (and I forget exactly what this is ... I'm referring to old notes that I wrote myself 8 years ago < g >). But, if you are booting straight to DOS, EMM386 should work without a problem.

Have you tried no memory manager at all? (except, of course, for HIMEM) ... FoxProX should run that way as well. I've never tried QEMM or BlueMax or 386Max, but they are all supposed to work fine without any parameters (again, because of VCPI compatibility).

I suppose you could resort to not running the extended version of FoxPro .... I know, it's a lot slower, but it'll still work. :-(


HTH,
