Yep, and it's going to be a bit of a shock, so brace yourself. Limit VFP's use of virtual memory using the SYS(3050) values!

VFP sucks up memory like a wino with a gallon bottle of Ripple. I've found that VFP, without having some curbs placed on its appetites, will eat further and further into NT's available virtual address space, and it thrashes out fairly quickly. I'd try reseting SYS(3050) to allow VFP to use no more than ~ 1/2-1/3 of the available physical memory for buffering (IOW, set it to 20M-30M) and see if things improve a bit.
