There's a FAQ entry that discusses a possible problem with VFP6, applications that start wqith SCREEN=OFF, and the lack of proper installation of DCOM; simply put, VFP6 would shut down with a C5 error if DCOM wasn't installed properly. If this is happening with Win95 systems, or NT systems where NT SP3 or later has not been installed, it'd be worth while to take a look at the FAQ entry outlinign this problem and how to fix it.
