>I have an application written under FoxBase Plus Version 2.00. I recently had to upgrade computer systems. I had an old 100MHZ Pentium.
>I now have a PIII 500MHZ Computer. The application will hang very often. The straight menus seem to work, but not sorting, indexing and other things. I was wondering of anyone know of a fix for it? Replacing the software at this time is not really an option! I thought I could use a program to slow down the computer so it would run!!! :( :( Any help would be helpful! I'm hoping I'm not alone with this kind of a problem.

Scott,
FoxBase+ 2.00??? Holy smokes! That's a way old version.
There is a known problem with faster computers. I seem to recall that the threshold is 333Mhz and there IS a fix for the 2.6x product for Windows (and I presume DOS as well).
I think you're going to have to upgrade that FoxPro software to at least 2.6a for DOS to even have a chance at all of making things work.
(If you don't have the source code you can decompile your existing software and recompile it. )
