>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,
It seems to me that Fox never had a problem with the faster CPU's under DOS (Windows, yes definately). One off-the-wall thought: Are you creating any unique file names in a series, to use for your indexes? the faster machines would often generate identical "unique names" if you went for more than one at a time.
To quote the helpfile:
SYS(3) may return a non-unique name when issued successionally on a fast computer. User SUBSTR(SYS(2015),3,10) to create unique, legal eight character file name.
Sorry if this is off-the-mark, good luck!
