>It certainly wasn't a speed issue, but I bought a new 450 Mhz with 128 Meg ram and thought I try NT 4.0. Developing in VFP was fine except I was way, way too often getting the "blue screen of death". I took NT back, put on 98 and haven't had the problems since.

I had a lot of trouble with NT4 at first, too. The *first* complete reinstall got rid of the Blue Death and other fairly serious problems, but vfp (5 or 6)still wouldn't run without major errors. I tried SP5, no help...

Did a third install of NT SP4 this week, assisted by a LAN pro. We installed only the minimal NT OS stuff, nothing else, then vfp6. Works like a champ now, testing constantly the last few days. Adding on other apps a litttle at a time, to see what might have ben the problem...

OTOH, the first time I installed SP3 over vfp6 on my Win98 machine, I got Blue Death every few minutes in vfp, it was just terrible :) A complete reinstall of VS and SP3 solved that. So, you never know - I figure you should always give installs at least a second chance (and maybe a third), I guess is the moral of my story...
