>>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.

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...
I had to have the company reinstall NT twice and walk me through it for a 3rd time as things were getting completely hosed. I just didn't have the time to continue with this so I went to 98 and have been fine since.
