We have the same situation here, FoxPro and Novell, and every once in a while one of our user get this
same error when starting a FPW26 exe. They are running Win95. They try shutting down all other
applications but that doesn't help. If they restart Win95, that works but is not what they want to do.

I don't think it has anything to do with other apps running at the same time. One thing I was going
to try was placing the FPW2600.ESL in the C:\WINDOWS directory. Right now, everybody here runs
the FPW exes amd esl from a network drive

However, all my VFP3 apps run on their machines without a problem.
