>The trick with SP3 is that after installation, you need to delete browser.dbf/fpt and recompile all your classlibs.

My trick (not very tricky :) was uninstalling VS6 and reinstalling everything -- my crashes were all over the map, not just vfp. The reinstallation worked wonders...just a bad SP3 install, kind of like when you're eating some nuts and you bite into a rotten one, just a fluky hind of thing...
