>I have a client with a problem running VFP applications on a machine with 2Gig's of RAM. It is a "Metaframe" server. The problem is that applications will not run, they get memory errors. Also, I gave them a setup program created with the VFP 6.0 Setup Wizard, and the setup program would not work either.

There is if the processor or chipset don't handle it properly; if it's a Slot 1 or Socket 370 processor, there are potential problems when the physical address space is >512MB, at least with the PII and chipsets priot to the 440GX. I don't know anything about the hardware they're running, but it sounds likely that they've chosen a new and interesting way to hurt themselves in a creative fashion. You'll need someone who can discuss the chipset and processor architecture in detail, but my pwn best guess is that if it's not using SLot2, the memory bus isn't being handle properly.
